Blog posts classified by category

Since we are just a few days away from the eclipse, I thought I would post this to help find my blog posts a little bit easier, organized by category. Just in case you wanted to do some final “studying” this weekend!

There is an archive on my blog page in the menu, or you can just browse through the whole blog. I’m also happy to do whatever I can to make things easier for you.

Some of the topics I have not posted yet. I will put the topic in the category and when I make the post, I will edit this to include the link.

The Total Solar Eclipse Checklist: What to look for!

The topic of this post is a checklist of what to look for if you are experiencing the eclipse. It’s primarily aimed at those who are in the path of totality, but some of this information can be used by people who will be experiencing a partial eclipse. I refer you to my earlier descriptive post on what happens during a total solar eclipse:  https://eclipse482024.blogspot.com/2022/04/an-incredible-experience-is-coming.html Also, of course, this assumes you know the eye safety rules. Before the eclipse begins, or during ANY part of the partial, you have to protect your eyes using proper methods and materials. But totality is COMPLETELY SAFE TO LOOK AT WITHOUT PROTECTION.   Realize that these changes don't even really begin until a large portion of the sun is covered, and that they are subtle at first. Then, they are noticeable but not dramatic. It's only shortly before totality that things become really dramatic. That's one of the many incredible things about totality- it tak

Choosing a specific observing location

Today, I'll be covering the topic of choosing an observing location within the path of totality.

Here are some things that you may want to think about:   Most Important   1.   (obviously!)   The observing location must be within the zone of totality. If you're outside the main shadow path (even by a short distance!) you won't see the sun completely blocked, and you'll wonder what the excitement was about. See my previous blog posts about this! As a reminder, the totality path is in between the red lines on this map, courtesy of Xavier Jubier:  http://xjubier.free.fr/tse2024map   2. (obviously!)  Make sure the location that you pick does not have something (hills, trees, tall buildings) that may block the Sun at eclipse time.  The Sun will be about 60-70 degrees up to the Sou
