Solar eclipse April 8, 2024

Very noticeable change as getting darker and enough of a temperature change and increase wind to put on a light jacket when going outside.

Enjoy,

The quality of coverage on Sky and CNN is abysmal. Not one person mentioned the diamond ring effect. The TV camera light in Indianapolis remained on so destroyed the effect of totality.

The producers haven’t got a bloody clue!

Its turning around. While not nightime darkness it turned quite dark quickly and eerie just as the moon passed the centre, and now sunshine appearing again. Got to be very chilly with 4° drop from 18.6°C to 14.6°
Glad I got the chance to experience it and monitor with the weather station and saved data. The solar radiation and UV Index dropped to zero.

Enjoy,
Paul

Paul, glad you had clear skies and enjoyed the experience.

Nice data, Paul.
I watched the coverage online on ABC, and they actually did mention and showed the diamond ring. Impressive!

The best eclips I ever saw was about 91% back in august 1999.

Attached zip of pictures from my webcam from just before it started to get darker and temperature drop.

Enjoy,

Nice @Paul, you see the darkness creep in but not touching the ground so to speak. @15:17 the eclipse is at its maximum.
Interesting series.

Hi Guy,
Looks like Hambden, OH is south of us on the opposite side of the totality path and Lake Erie.

Enjoy,
Paul

Yep - cleared up enough for a good view!

I like reasonable output of charts.

A nice addition to this eclipse thread is the following: https://twitter.com/gunsnrosesgirl3/sta ... 9360329200

During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras, and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.

Camera Obscura optima forma.

I had never seen this before, but this is what the multitude of camera's in the world do: register astonishing things.
