I heard an eclipse is coming up! Are any of you going to watch it?

[dragoness129]

I need to pay more attention to the special things like that that will be going on...

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I heard that the cities that will be seeing a total solar eclipse on August 18, hotels have been sold out for over a year and anything that is available to rent is an astronomical fee. I'd hate to pay that much and have it cloudy so you couldn't see...

Supposedly we will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, I hope it is clear out.

[dragoness129]

Hopefully! My mom just read about seeing the Northern lights a bit further down from us some night.

[Polaris]

Yes! Depending on where you are, the eclipse will either appear as a total or partial solar eclipse. In my opinion though, it'll be amazing regardless of how total or partial it is!

Also thanks guys for keeping this thread alive while I disappear from time to time ー( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

[Lemon Cheesecake]

so long as you reappear from time to time

[Polaris]

Ahh the hype for this eclipse is a big as the hype for the new season of Game of Throne was on Sunday!!

It's a good thing I love both space & astronomy AND GoT

Venus will be near the moon on July 20th

[mdom]

Noo I won't be able to see the eclipse at all!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh no! But you actually will see it better on t.v. anyway so watch it on there!

[mdom]

The internet will be my friend xD it'll be like I'm out there!

[Polaris]

There's also NASA live streams (6/10 would recommend -- they work 60% of the time) for the eclipse~

[Lemon Cheesecake]

order the solar eclipse postage stamps to mark the occasion too!

[mdom]

ahaha 60% of the time isn't too reliable... but I can try.

[Gingerale]

I hear they hope to do more research on the sun's rays while it is being blocked from the eclipse
