Hi Donna,
Sorry to hear it’s been a bad weekend,
Yeah I’m finding it kind of funny from this end as it’s a 7 minute
blackout that’s happening coast to coast across the usa,
And everyone is making such a big thing out of it,
Yet if you can sset things up quickly enough NASA are streaming it so
you could copy that streem and have it for prosperity
New Zealand gets our next total eclipse in I think it’s 2028
But good luck tomorrow or in the morning in my case.
Approx. 7 hours till darkness falls in the middle of the day.

Hi Simon,
This is a very fun story about a small town in the U.S. that suddenly
finds itself in the limelight. As best i understand it, the longest
duration of the eclipse is in a small town in Illinois where many of my
in-laws live, and where my husband and I lived till this past April.
Truth be told, this has been a rough weekend. I'm sad I'm not there.
The university is closed Monday, and there are lots of parties that we
would be attending if we still lived there.

Hi Janina,
Yes it was a story on our evening news tv show last night.
The town in Oregon that is the centre of the eclipse has a
population of approx. 6500 people but they are expecting 250000 to
arrive over the next day or so to watch the eclipse

Simon,
Where I live just outside Washington, DC, it will approximately 80%.
It's full further west in the U.S. Hotels out west are full. People
are sleeping in their cars, I imagine! <grin>

I didn't know there was to be a solar eclipse this year?
So is it a full one for you folks in the northern hemisphere or
only partial?
And besides I'm sure this type of thing happens every day, Or at
least
night, I believe what happens is the earth gets in front of the
sun so that the side of the earth furtherest away from the sun
is eclipsed from seeing it, and it gets very dark on that
furtherest away side.

Hi,
People living anywhere proximate to the coming solar eclipse
might want to look into a special app intended to help blind and
visually impaired people experience this upcoming celestial event:
https://www.space.com/37746-solar-eclipse-experience-for-visually-impa
ired.html
The app, Eclipse Soundscape, may well be available via Itunes
Appstore.
I haven't checked, though.
Enjoy!
Janina
