As all of you know, by now, there will be an amazing Total Solar Eclipse this summer in North America stretching from coast to coast, and basically from 10 AM to 2 PM local time, from west to east.
An estimated 75 million people will be less than a half day's drive away from totality. My family and I will be in Missouri that day, prepared to zip east or west in case of inclement weather. Do you plan on observing this event? -------------------- CLA CLL

Regulus, Jupiter, and all the (other) inner planets will be quite visible: http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/a...ts-bright-stars
For my part, I have a possible conflict, and if worst comes to worst I'll miss the best of it up here in Canada. Perhaps the 2024 one is another opportunity... |
