Living in Vancouver, I traveled to Toronto to watch the Eclipse in 2024. We faced a nasty cloud, and had to drive hundreds of kilometers (hundreds of miles) to get a reasonably good view. On the drive back I decided that I'll travel for the one that's happening today, and here I am, in Sierra, with some cool people.
Solar eclipses happen rarely enough, and frequently enough, to act as milestones in my life: I can review what happened since the previous one, and make a plan for the next one.
They are some of the most magnificent natural phenomena, much more interesting than what's expected.
The only other one that I got to see in perfect conditions was in my home town, Isfahan in 1999. I hope this one is perfectly clear again, and I have some resolutions for the next one.
- Insanity 2mo agoI was in Toronto in 2024. Wanted to travel to EU for the next one (I’m from EU) but sadly couldn’t make that happen. Enjoy the eclipse!
- tamimio 2mo agoSame here! I couldn’t make it this year so hopefully next one!
- sokoloff 2mo ago> hundreds of kilometers (hundreds of miles) This units “conversion” earned a chuckle from me…
- tnguy3n 2mo agoI flew to Toronto to watch the 2024 Eclipse as well. Super disappointing experience due to the clouds and seeing so many beautiful pictures of totality beforehand.
