who here is watching the eclipse?

Just came across this one. Gives an idea how much cloud cover we had in the Niagara region but also how the shadow of the moon 'moves'.

Edit: While the moon is moving, the apparent motion is also from earth rotating. The planet turns approximately 1° of arc in 4 minutes. Which is where we get the one hour time zones of 15°
4 minutes x 15° = 60 minutes/1 hour
24 hours x 15° = 360°

Just standing, we're moving at about 1675 km/h or 465 meters/second (1,040 miles/hour).

A bit of an adventure trying to get to 3 minutes of totality but we did manage to get to just under 2 minutes of totality, traffic was a fucking joke and was expecting %100 cloud cover. It cleared just in time from our vantage southwest of Hamilton.....barely
Pushing 50 years wanting to see totality with my own .....done!!!!!
Photo doesn't do it justice.

I regret not driving the hour or so to see totality. Next time this happens in Alberta I'll be too old to easily travel!

yeh...next time we have full totality in Canada I'll be 64...so probably still possible.
