Did you know 🤓 Solar eclipses occur during the new moon phase when the moon blocks the sun, creating partial or total obscurity. This year, a partial eclipse will be visible across the U.S., with 15 states experiencing totality. Eclipses influence tides, causing high and low tides during new moons. Baldwin County will witness a 75% totality coverage, with a 40-60% chance of visibility in Mobile and Pensacola, subject to weather conditions. Although we won’t experience Totality-it’s still going to be a momentous event and won’t happen again until 2045! 😎🌒No Safe Solar Filter for the Solar Eclipse? Try This Fun Alternative!

On Monday, April 8 a total solar eclipse will darken the sky through most of the United States. (The next one will be in 20 years, so don't hold your breath.) But in only a relatively narrow 115-mile path will the light from the sun be entirely blocked by the moon (though the eclipse will be visible to some degree nearly everyplace) And the cities along that limited path have the potential of bringing in large sums of revenues from sightseers eager to get the best view of everything. These cities also need to be prepared for the unusually large throngs of visitors taxing their emergency response, transportation, communication and other critical infrastructure. Is your city one of them? Barrett and Greene Inc. has the answers. Just click here: https://lnkd.in/eBw5iuFR

☀️ Who remembers the Solar Eclipse in 2017? Nashville was in the path of totality which means the sun was completely blocked for almost 2 minutes! It was pretty cool to SEE and experience! 🌙 Did you know we are going to have another Eclipse on April 8 of this year? This time in 2024, the path passes well away from the city, and so we won't have totality in Nashville proper. ✨ However, Nashville will still experience a partial solar eclipse with the moon covering up to 95% of the sun! 👓 Be sure to protect your eyes and don't look directly at the sun without proper certified Eclipse glasses! 😮 Fun Fact: The moon will be closer to Earth than it was during the 2017 solar eclipse. This will make it appear larger in the sky. The path of totality runs through a majority of the country which is also rare. 🎉 Learn more about the upcoming eclipse at https://lnkd.in/gs5uJNAS Sources: Eclipse2024.org and commercialappeal.com

Today’s solar eclipse is just hours away! Follow these important safety guidelines to keep your eyes safe. Remember, Northeast Georgia is not in the path of totality. At most, the moon will cover about 80% of the sun at around 3:06 PM today. The remaining 20% is plenty enough to cause permanent eye damage. * View the sun directly only through eclipse glasses. Regular sunglasses are not dark enough to use safely. * People in the path of totality can view the eclipse without safety glasses only while the moon covers it completely. No one anywhere should look at the partially covered sun at any time without eclipse glasses. * There are many ways to view the partial eclipse indirectly. Poke a small hole in a sheet of cardboard or hold up a colander to “project” an image of the partially covered sun onto a sidewalk or driveway. Even the gaps between leaves in trees will project a crescent on the ground! * Have fun, be excited, and be safe!

Are you excited? Because we’re excited! Do you know why we’re excited? Because there is exactly one month until the solar eclipse! 🤩 On April 8, most of North America will see a partial or total solar eclipse. While this may seem like old news since we saw solar eclipses in 2023 and 2017, there won’t be another total solar eclipse visible in the lower 48 states of the US until 2044! So here’s what you need to know to prepare for the 4/8/24 solar eclipse: ☀️ This solar eclipse will be visible across all of the US, and parts of Canada and Latin America. You will be able to see either a total or partial solar eclipse depending on your location. 🌑 While Chicago won’t see a total eclipse, we will see 94% of the Sun covered. Cities in Illinois like Carbondale, Metropolis, Mt Vernon, and Mt Carmel will see totality! 🌎 The eclipse will begin at 12:51 pm CDT, reach maximum eclipse at 2:07 pm, and conclude by 3:22 pm in Chicago. To see the exact time in your city, check out @timeanddate.com. 😎 To safely view the solar eclipse, you MUST use proper solar viewing glasses. Looking at a partial eclipse at any time can cause permanent eye damage. If you’re lucky enough to be in totality, only during the few minutes of complete coverage can you safely view the eclipse without solar viewers.
