The sun revolves around the center of our galaxy. We are kinda out in the suburbs on one arm of it so we're getting slung along pretty fast. --R Sent from iPhone > On Aug 22, 2017, at 3:41 PM, Mountain Man via Mercedes > wrote: > > The sun probably revolves? > Thanks

Re: [MBZ] OT In the path of the eclipse

The moon REVOLVES about the earth (and the earth REVOLVES about the sun), the moon and earth ROTATE about their axes (and the moon is rotation-locked to the earth so it always presents the same face to the earth). And actually earth rotation speed is about 1000mph (24 hours, 24000mi

Re: [MBZ] OT In the path of the eclipse

The Earth rotates at about 1700 mph at the equator, the moon orbits at around 3400 mph in the same direction, so slightly faster, so the shadow passes from west to east. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Aug 22, 2017 at 12:02 PM, Mountain Man via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] OT In the path of the eclipse

Do the sun and moon rotate in different directions around the planet? The sun in this neighborhood rises in the east and sets in the west. The moon also rises in the east and sets in the west? Why did the eclipse totality go from west to east? ...yeah... duckduckgo tin.man

Re: [MBZ] OT In the path of the eclipse

Really? This was my third significant eclipse that we've viewed with our eclipse glasses. I don't know how I've been able to lay hands on them as needed, but I did. The experience is pretty much the same, depending on how much of the eclipse you get. It looks like we will get even more than the

Nice view of the partial eclipse from here. I measured the LUX during what we got: Normal full sun is 111,000 LUX - which is more than my meter can handle. 1252 CDT 13,000 LUX 1302 CDT 8,000 LUX 1313 CDT 10,080 LUX 1327 CDT 21,550 LUX 1343 CDT 34,500 LUX 1404 CDT - >40,000 LUX (no reading) On

I really like the way you spelled attenuate. :) Even though a geologist, I have no special insights into the odds of another possible New Madrid quake. If there is one, prepare for a tax hike to pay for the recovery effort$. On Mon, Aug 21, 2017 at 10:51 AM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes <

I just need to work on my attitude, try to be more positive about this whole thing. Self-fulling prophecy and all that. Hey, the sun is out now, skies look pretty clear after a big storm rolled through earlier this a.m. Maybe we won't be cloud-covered for the big event. - Max

We considered riding bikes over to the island, but I'm worried about the heavy traffic and the risk of getting run over while riding along the side of the road. It's going to be a zoo. I'd rather camp out at the neighborhood pool, with a cooler of beer and pizza from a local joint, so we can

My abode is just about dead center, we'll get a little over a minute and a half of totality. SWMBO wants to head to the nearest beach, a barrier island, normally about a fifteen minute drive, so I think we'll need to leave at about 11 so we can be totally jammed in a huge crowd, sweating for
