The image used for the eclipse in this reminded me of the show Heroes
Such a great show that fell off a cliff after the first season
Wasn’t it supposed to be an anthology series, where each season was a new cast? But then they were like “hey everyone loves these characters! Quick make up some stuff so they all have to stick around.” Then we got weird shit like that character who has a bunch of twins or something, and psycho serial killer Syler joins the team.
Oh really? I didn’t realise that was the case!
I think the biggest thing I remember killing it was that there was a writers strike halfway through the 2nd season and instead of waiting until the end of the strike, the show runners slapped together a shit ending for the season and then it never really recovered
The writer’s strike definitely killed it
It moved from more a spooky sci-fi to a drama that killed the interesting new character every episode. That’s gotta be one of the most disappointing series after the expectations set from the first season.
Why did nobody give a fuck about the 2023 eclipse?
The annular one over north America? Because it was annular. While a cool event it is really a specific kind of partial eclipse. Totality is incomparable to even a 99% partial eclipse. I heard it described as the difference between mostly dead VS dead and recently I’ve seen the xkcd comic that does a decent job conveying the difference too.
I didn’t get it… What is 91% speciality
If you didn’t know, you’d expect a 91% eclipse to almost look like a full eclipse. (I think his idea was you got close enough that it was over 90%.) But the sun is so bright that it still looks like day at 91%. You might not even realize there is an eclipse unless you looked at it with glasses.
When I saw it two days ago, even at 99% everything still looked normal. It was only a tiny bit darker outside. You still needed to use glasses to see that an eclipse was happening.
When it hit 100% it was like lights being turned out in a room. In place of the sun was a giant black disk with a multicolored glow around it and a bright red spot (solar flare was happening at the time).
Thank you
It’s like hearing vs. seeing fireworks
The clouds may have even made it look more dramatic.
Yeah - it was awesome from my yard!
I spent the week leading up to the eclipse looking at weather forecasts trying to give us the best shot of clear skies. When we got in the car Monday we still had to drive around a bit to get out from under the clouds. Ended up on some dirt road in NW OH in the middle of nowhere under a small patch of blue sky
Same as it ever was

You have another shot in 20 years in the us
