I just saw a news story that the US is "hosting" a full solar eclipse on Aug 21 this year, from Oregon to South Carolina. I'm trying to decide how to get off work, and which state I want to go to!

...and now I have a new phrase for my burgeoning lexicon...."imported sperm"....
Actually, I watched one through a welding mask once on a trip to Pennsylvania to breed a dog. (We were using imported sperm and a special vet had to do the insemination) Anyhoo, we were waylaid by a broken thingamabob on our rental car and had to spend several hours at a garage near Amish country. The mechanics were nice enough to lend us their welding masks to see the eclipse! It was awesome. (That's what my boyfriend calls my typical "short story long")
As a science teacher, I feel like one of the lucky ones, in that I live right where the eclipse will be at its longest duration. Hopkinsville, KY, is about 75 miles away, and their eclipse view will be 2 min, 41 seconds. Where I live (the very tip of Western Kentucky), we'll be just a couple seconds shy of that. Can't Wait! Here's a good site which shows the best viewing areas, and how long the duration of the eclipse will last in each place.I just saw a news story that the US is "hosting" a full solar eclipse on Aug 21 this year, from Oregon to South Carolina.

We've had the TV on a channel that is reporting from various locations along the path of the eclipse and have lost count of how many places where the sky was clear right up to the moment when it was going to be the full eclipse and clouds have either partially or fully obscured it. I feel so bad for those people who had that moment stolen from them.Whenever there's an eclipse in the UK where I live it's cloudy...
Down in Oregon it was the opposite- it was cloudy right up until the moment it was going to start and then the clouds just disappeared for all the folks down that way. I was happy for them.We've had the TV on a channel that is reporting from various locations along the path of the eclipse and have lost count of how many places where the sky was clear right up to the moment when it was going to be the full eclipse and clouds have either partially or fully obscured it.
