Here's the difference between a 99% eclipse and the path of totality

- The partial solar eclipse begins around 1:51 p.m. EDT. Most of our "maximum" times align around 3:08-3:10 p.m. and then a partial eclipse continues through 4:24 p.m.
I got lucky and live where totality hit in Indiana. It was absolutely breathtaking. ❤
ECLIPSE: The Sun & Moon interlocked (married) for a brief moment in time - Diamond Ring appears to sanctify the ceremony.
The difference...I wouldnt walk down the street to see 99% but I would fly to the other side of the globe for totality! Don't miss it people
It's like getting 99% of the Powerball winning numbers vs. 100% of all the correct numbers😅
If you look at the sun with solar glasses and put your thumb over almost all of it, you've basically just seen a 95-99% eclipse. What you cannot mimic is is totality where the entire sky goes black, the stars come into view, the animals stop making noise, the crickets begin chirping, the ring around the sun changes to bluish white, the temperature outside drops 10-15 degrees, and a light but cold breeze sweeps across the area while you can safely stare at the sun with your naked eye.
The next total eclipse in the Philippines is on April 20, 2042. It is so terrible that I live in the 95% solar eclipse 😭 I hope I would be rich enough to travel south
The real "fun" doesn't even BEGIN until around 50%, at 20% or 30% it's like "wait, there was an eclipse?", at 50% it's like a cloud in front of the sun but you can still see the sun. Which is mildly cool. Still, if you're somewhere that's 90%, 95%, 99%, and you somehow can't get to totality, what you're about to see is still going to be cool. I'm in the 95% zone, probably won't get to travel to see totality, but if not, 95% is still infinitely better than nothing.
I'm at 99% debating on driving less than an hour away for totality
@@graveyardguild then definitely go for 100% if it’s that close
@@graveyardguild its worth it. You will never be able to look directly at the sun/moon at 99%. With 100% you can. I was at the 2017 eclipse. It was incredible. I have no plans on going on a partial eclipse after seeing it 100%. the difference is literally night and day.
@@graveyardguild "A partial eclipse is like a cool sunset. A total eclipse is like someone broke the sky." -Randall Munroe
I'm at 99.8 percent totality. Just have to drive into town to have totality for like 1 min.
seeing totality by your eyes.. is so much different than any picture ive seen. Seeing the glare and glow of the sun, and mass coming off it. Its so much more vivid than what i ever saw online i didnt think much of it but it really is an amazing thing. When the next one comes i really suggest you dont miss it. Its probably the most beautiful thing ive seen so far and ive seen sprites, and tornaodos which id rank pretty close to watching the eclipse
Where are the flat earthers?
99% gang 🥲
Is it weird that I still got emotional over a 95% eclipse? Maybe I'm just easily impressed, but I actually cried being overwhelmed by the surrealness of it. But then again, 64% impressed me back in 2017. I live in Massachusetts for reference. Will I faint seeing a true total eclipse in 2045?
I went to the Air Force base in Dayton to see totality. I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely unforgettable.
What's crazy is my house in 1970 had a 99.99% but my school 2 miles away had totality. But I didn't exist yet.
What time should it happen here in the tri state (Cincy/Covington)? 😊
To experience the totality, you would have to travel up to Hamilton or Oxford. Totality should start at just past 3:08 p.m. on April 8th and should last around 3 minutes
@@mlee-w664 thank you!
It's going to be cloudy everywhere around in Pennsylvania. Wondering if it would be worth it to stay where I am around Pittsburgh where it'll be 97%, or to drive two hours to Erie where it'll be 100%. If both are obscured by clouds, all I'm getting is the drop in darkness.
Its sunny with cleark skies in pa today. Im in lancaster
@@TrackStar42 Got clouds for miles here in Westmoreland/Allegheny
It's partly sunny here in Altoona but overcast in Erie. But the sun pokes out sometimes. It's almost an exact reenactment of the 2017 partial eclipse day.
@@AltoonaYourPiano Got some sun now in downtown Pittsburgh but we’ll see if it lasts lol
@@JakvsMetalheads999 I got just enough to see it. It was awesomely surreal.
I'm going to be getting 99% better than 90 or less
Perfectly balanced…. As all things should be
0:47 Wow, what a difference.
Omg life changing
I was in the 99% totality, so my next chance is in 2044; hopefully retired by then!
shout out Batesville!!!
I mean.. it gets dark every night, so.. just use your imagination
You can’t imagine this. The effects can’t exist outside of it.
Yeah it’s not even close.
We don't get into the path to see the sky get dark. No, we do it see the sun's corona, the inner planets, and a lot of other interesting effects.
You can see the otmosphere. What the heck is an otmosphere? She's talking with a vocal fry??????
1:40 but they just said it’s NOT a once in a lifetime experience smh
They meant it's once in a lifetime that it will be close enough for people to travel to see it
It depends on how many people are willing to get up and travel internationally to see others. The next one in the US is in 2045, which is a whole generation away.
@@starmanxvi Straight up! I'll get to see it as a Gen Z-er, but like, it's the first coast to coast one in over 20 years! And it'll be going through South Florida. I am excited because I'll be in school for this coming one on the 8th.
@@starmanxvi I hope a lifetime is longer than 21 years 😉.
@@SUGAR_XYLER No, it's considered once in a lifetime because on average, in the northern hemisphere, a particular location only sees an eclipse around every 350 years. Most people won't travel to other places, but these happen on average every 18 months around the world. There is another in Europe in 2026 and 2027 (also Africa etc.) and many others, but not in the lower 48 until 2044 (Montana) and 2045 the rest of the country. I believe there is one in Alaska in 2033 over the North Slope.
"great american" eclipse. lololol
I really hope there’s no clouds in that day here in Jersey
Same for here n PA. I'm okay with clouds as long as they *stay far away from the sun's path* during that time.
