Green13, If you waited to start planning until now it’ll be the hardest thing you’ve ever done.
xpinchx, Yep. Anyone reading this that was planning on driving home right after - do yourself a favor and find a place nearby to stay the night.
Last time my 4 hour drive out was 17 hours back home. Gas stations out of gas, no bathrooms, bumper to bumper the whole way.
maculata, If you live near to the path.
lvxferre, If your instance is any indication of location: there’s an eclipse visible in most Oceania and SE Asian islands in 2028. For a good chunk of Australia and NZ, it’ll be a total eclipse. For further info, check it here.
For me (South America) there’s one already in October, but it’ll suck from my region (14% coverage). And another in 2027 (~75% coverage).
maculata, Cool thanks! I still think it’s a broad brush of a statement that could be qualified a little.
kif, I’ve got this one in my calendar already, and have organised preliminary accommodation!
BossDj, The big difference is how close the sun is to solar maximum this year! The sun is at a point of peak electromagnetic activity, something that happens every 10 to 13 years, which is reflected in more chance of witnessing bursts of energy (flares and ejections) during the eclipse.
It in all likelihood will have passed by 2028.
DannyBoy, angielski That’s a very big qualifier. I wouldn’t want to be trying to get flights and hotels in cities along the path.
Fuck_u_spez_, angielski I drove eight hours or so to watch the one in 2017. No regrets.
Zitronensaft, Me too, the clouds overhead parted just before totality and the corona was so dazzling and magnificent. I really hope there aren’t clouds in the way during this one.
Muscar, Just driving 8 hours for it isn’t something the vast majority of the world can’t do. You were lucky small percentage.
maculata, Which brings me back to my original critique of the title.
Mango, I rented a Dodge Challenger to get into the path.
maculata, All this strikes me as the opposite of ‘low effort’.
Mango, It’s not quite staying in and playing videogames, but it’ll do.
