When will your state next be visited by a total solar eclipse?

by u/darwinpatrick

In preparation for next month's big event I put a map together of the next time each state will be in the path of totality. Data from here. Some things to note that I didn't include on the map:  

   - Oregon does get totality in 2108 but it's such a thin slice it barely shows up  

   - timeanddate.com and a couple other sources show more generous areas of totality at the beginning and end of each eclipse, likely due to them counting an eclipsed sun partially below the horizon as totality. The NASA shapefiles I used do not take this into account and thus my data is a bit more conservative. Checking, for example, the 2079 eclipse on timeanddate.com shows Delaware and Maryland making the cut whereas my map doesn't.

do y'all think kids of Apollo pass out during solar eclipses? Or at least are very weak? Maybe hunters get power boosts during solar eclipses, but lose power during lunar ones? Idk just a thought :)

more thoughts about the eclipse uhm.

What if. Instead of Artemis yelling at Apollo or them high fiving....

What if they were dancing. What if, every eclipse, they forget about the godly thing. They forget about any wars, or issues between them and just. Dance.

Someone draw this please.

NO OTHER PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM GETS TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSES!! THE SIZE AND DISTANCE OF OUR MOON FROM EARTH AND THE SUN MAKE THE PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES TO GET TOTALITY!!! THE EARTH AND MOON ARE SOOOO COOL AND OF COURSE OUR SUN!! I LOVE LIVING ON EARTH I LOVE YOU EARTH I LOVE YOUUUUU MOON I LOVE YOU SUN

nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.

me: oh cool

nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.

me: oh cool

nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.

me: oh... cool?

Solar Eclipse Shadows

These solar eclipse shadows form due to the distance between the sun and the leaves on the trees. The distance and the proximity of the leaves to one another cause for a "lensing" type effect, making the eclipse shadow clearer to the human eye.
