So why is this one any different from the one 7 years ago? I saw that one and I don't remember all these warnings.

Dude is CREEPY and just the way he said to wear those glasses was weird…

[MrSpeaker]

I prepared this time. I ordered some glasses from Wish

The manufacturers of fake solar glasses should be made to watch the sun for a whole day with their own product. 'Cause they're _totally_ safe. Right?

I cannot wait.❗️ 🥰

Whys everyone going nuts over this solar eclipse? I happened to be visiting Columba SC during the last one and there were no traffic issues or issues with animals, or store supply issues either. Damn media is trying to scare everyone as if they already don't over hype every story to be the worst news of the year lmao.

I live in Rochester, NY and we are expecting hundreds of thousands of visitors next Monday, and there are several pop-up fun events in my hometown area going on to keep our visitors entertained before the big event takes place. According to their computer models, our local weather people pretty much agree that the visibility of the event won't be perfect in my area but will be generally good, better than some other areas southwest of us where many clouds to complete overcast skies may possibly prevail. Niagara Falls, NY declared a state of emergency a few days ago because they are expecting over one million visitors crammed into a small city. Yikes!

But why are NASA firing rockets during that eclipse? Hmmmm.

[FloridaMan.]

I expect fire benders to lose their fire bending abilities

[unknOwN-nvnu]

Man California never gets any eclipses so annoying

[macmarle]

Couple serious questions. Why is nasa firing 3 rockets into the eclipse? If the moon isnt due to be in line with the sun on April.8/2024...what's really the celestial object that will block the sun?

[TAnderson]

They don’t want you to look at the eclipse, because they know looking at it for the full 3 min gives you super powers.

[JaredLand]

Yeah it will probably cloudy in Canada just saying

[LA_Floop]

nope i’m absolutely staring at it the entire four mins and 22 sec and im getting the super powers i’ve prayed for since i was 5

My stepsister’s birthday will be on April 8th the same day as the Eclipse
