SnoSki14 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I believe in 2079 we would be in totality although the peak would occur 5-7 minutes after sunrise so I'm not sure how that would look. By then if we're still alive I'm sure a lot of us would be flooded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the one after 2024? Expand The problem with 2024 is its early in the day I think and also during a time of year we or upstate NY often have bad weather. In addition that NE-SW path gives you only a small area to be sure you see it if a large scale system is located over the Lakes Or Midwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I used 8 pairs of sunglasses, 2 polarized at opposing angles, that made it so dark I couldn't see anything unless looking right at the sun.
