Hi Donna, Sorry to hear it’s been a bad weekend,
Yeah I’m finding it kind of funny from this end as it’s a 7 minute blackout that’s happening coast to coast across the usa, And everyone is making such a big thing out of it, Yet if you can sset things up quickly enough NASA are streaming it so you could copy that streem and have it for prosperity New Zealand gets our next total eclipse in I think it’s 2028 But good luck tomorrow or in the morning in my case. Approx. 7 hours till darkness falls in the middle of the day.

As best i understand it, the longest duration of the eclipse is in a small town in Illinois where many of my in-laws live, and where my husband and I lived till this past April. Truth be told, this has been a rough weekend. I'm sad I'm not there. The university is closed Monday, and there are lots of parties that we would be attending if we still lived there. http://eclipse.siu.edu Donna , Donna On Aug 19, 2017, at 4:57 PM, Simon Fogarty <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Janina, Yes it was a story on our evening news tv show last night. The town in Oregon that is the centre of the eclipse has a population of approx. 6500 people but they are expecting 250000 to arrive over the next day or so to watch the eclipse -----Original Message----- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 20 August 2017 6:55 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: App to make the solar eclipse accessible Simon, Where I live just outside Washington, DC, it will approximately 80%. It's full further west in the U.S. Hotels out west are full. People are sleeping in their cars, I imagine! <grin> Janina Simon Fogarty writes: I didn't know there was to be a solar eclipse this year? So is it a full one for you folks in the northern hemisphere or only partial? And besides I'm sure this type of thing happens every day, Or at least night, I believe what happens is the earth gets in front of the sun so that the side of the earth furtherest away from the sun is eclipsed from seeing it, and it gets very dark on that furtherest away side. -----Original Message----- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 19 August 2017 9:40 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: App to make the solar eclipse accessible Hi, People living anywhere proximate to the coming solar eclipse might want to look into a special app intended to help blind and visually impaired people experience this upcoming celestial event: https://www.space.com/37746-solar-eclipse-experience-for-visually-impa ired.html The app, Eclipse Soundscape, may well be available via Itunes Appstore.
