Still, I saw the big one a few years back so I don't feel slighted. That was spectacular.
quote:
The first U.S. location to experience the annular "ring of fire" stage of the eclipse will be Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PT (12:13 p.m. EDT, 1613 GMT) on Oct. 14. Prior to that, the partial eclipse stage of the eclipse begins off the West Coast of the United States at 11:03 EDT (1503 GMT.)
The eclipse will then pass through seven other U.S. states before moving across the Gulf of Mexico and over Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Brazil, making the famous "ring of fire" visible to millions of people.

While it might be tempting to go outside with your phone and take photos of the eclipse, you should only do so if you are equipped with the right gear.

I had no idea!! As it was, it was totally clouded over here, but had it not been, I might have tried to take photos. Yikes!
