And folks in the NE aren't anywhere near the path of Totality for this one.Yes but that path is very different. The path of Totality will not go west of Texas in the United States.
THIS! I'm in the totality zone, work in a public library and have planned an outdoor watch party with seating, cold beverages and moon pies. We have been giving out free glasses for weeks now. Very excited!
I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone, especially anyone in the path of totality, cannot be excited about this!

Think about that for a minute. You're not standing in the shadow of a tree or a building. You're standing in the shadow of the moon! THE MOON! THE MOON IS COVERING THE SUN AND PLUNGING THE EARTH INTO DARKNESS FOR TWO MINUTES! ...

I'm excited and very much looking forward to it! It's a solar frickin' eclipse! How cool is that?!
People today can get so excited over completely inane media and sports junk. It's just sad if they can't appreciate a relatively rare astronomical event.
What time of day is the eclipse? Is it around 2:30 pm EST?
