5/20/12 Solar Eclipse

[Baydestrian]

Who is going to watch it? I def want to and I know you need Welders Glass Shade 14, theres a welders outlet in my city that has Heat Treated Filter plates for 78 cents. From what I read though you can't just hold up the sheets, you should use googles but the outlet doesn't carry any in shade 14.

There is also the last passing of Venus in the 21st Century infront of the sun on June 5th and that won't happen again until Dec 11, 2117!

This is the path tomorrow:

Gonna TRY. but I'm in San Antonio.

[TheBetterMethod]

I'm in West Virginia. I should be able to see it start just as sun begins to set.

[Hollowstylez]

I want to check this out being that i live in the city its hard to see stars.

[Baydestrian]

I think I might have to head to one of the spots in Frisco to view it.

Hollow, in San Jo you can go to The intersection of Twilight and Rupert drives, from 5 to 7:40 p.m., sponsored by the San Jose Astronomical Associaton

Also, on June 4th 2:59am til 5:06am there will be a lunar eclipse, can't wait to watch that!

The map on this web page from the weather channel has times to expect it to happen in your area.

Observers almost everywhere west of the Mississippi will see a crescent-shaped sun as the moon passes by off-center.

i'm right on the edge of the SOL line there in georgia.

i'll give it a try though if i remember.. use a camera or something to put a layer of protection between me and the sun.

[donovanl12]

That means I'll see Venus again on my 123rd birthday!

woow i didnt know this im in RI do i get to see it ?

[Baydestrian]

Camera won't work, you will still hurt your eyes. If there is a welding supply in your area go to them and get Shade 14 welders glass and ask for hella with what to put it in. Another thing which is free and what I will probably do is stand underneath a tree, where the light filters though you will see crescent shapes but it is only a partial eclipse and only 84% of the suns light will be blocked.

If you look at the map you will be SOL Manny
