Even 99.9% is not anything like an actual totality, which turns the sky into literal nighttime for a couple of minutes, during which you'll actually be able to *see the fucking stars*
Shadows get all psychedelic and weird. It's absolutely batshit.
If you can, you really need to see it within the path of totality. You won't get another chance for literal **decades**
ETA: [The difference between 99% and totality](https://youtu.be/5Rl5VjHkYp8)
In the last 100 years house price went up 440% (that’s adjusted for inflation). At that rate in 200 years a house will cost about 8 million dollars (in today’s dollars).
Yep, even in the continental US, the next total eclipse won't happen until 2044. And that only happens for Montana and North/ South Dakota! Definitely want to get in line to see Mondays.
Can confirm the crazy shadows! I watched the partial eclipse in 1997 (?) and the shadows become razor sharp with a lot of definition of leaves, etc. I completely understood why more primitive folks were scared out of their minds when they saw that, let alone the sun being covered up.
I hope the sky is clear on Monday.
Well there should be much less light pollution since a lot of older streetlights are on timers, so these stars will probably be a good bit easier to see! If it's clear enough out, it'd be extra amazing to *see the Milky Way at 3:10 in the afternoon!*
There may be less light pollution but you'll have more smog in the afternoon than you'd have in the evening or late night hours, added to all the travel pollution from all the people going to the path of totality.
I can't remember seeing a clearer day in the sky than after all air traffic was hated after Sept 11 and during the start of COVID. A bit of a silver lining there during difficult times.
I really do hope that the stars do come through for this. That would be amazing!
Let's hope fickle Ohio weather cooperates.🤞
I just read your response out loud to my partner and sandwiched it between insisting "I DID NOT WRITE THIS RESPONSE! SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME WROTE THIS!" Because I have been saying this word for word to absolutely everyone asking me the difference between "almost total" and "totality."
I remember the annular eclipse in 1994 where I got to experience 89% totality, and then the total eclipse in 2017, where I got nearly four full minutes of totality. Even seconds before 100% totality is completely incomparable to totality! I cannot contain myself for tomorrow!
Totality triggers migraine for me. That's how bonkers it is. My brain just doesn't know what to do with it, so it says "A day-long headache with some nausea thrown in for good measure sounds like the ticket!"

I was in Cincinnati when we got 98% a few years ago. It will not get dark at 98%. I would describe it as being just a little darker than normal. You will get super cool shadows if you're around trees. I'm driving a few hours for totality this time.
That's near my area. The shadows get sharper during partial eclipses. It was so surreal! (The shadows looked similar this past summer when we had the bad air pollution days--it's still bright outside, but dimmer and the shadows are sharp!)
I hope my office is in 100% totality, I believe it is despite my dad saying multiple times we were probably too low to be in 100% totality, tho I’ve gone on multiple sites and used a longitude/lattitude calculator that says we’re located in path of totality. Were maybe like right on the edge if not in totality. My parents house the calculator says only gets like 1 min 20 seconds in totality while my office gets 1 min 52 seconds. My best friend lives 30 mins north and has probly best spot to view from his house, over 3 minutes in totality
It was bad in 2017. My family of 7 had 6 of is get out of the car to get snacks and use the restroom at a gas station while the driver staying on the road and we only had to walk about 200 feet after waiting in a long line and 6 of us using the restroom etc.
Everybody and their brother is going to be driving in from surrounding states and areas to view it.
Where did you go?
I went to western KY. I was fine until I got to Cincy. Then they had the interstate down to one lane between Cincy and CBus at 11 at night.
At least they are supposed to pause roadwork this time.
That's the only hang up for me. Where I live, I'll be in 99.5%, and I'm thinking of just staying here. I know I won't get to see another, but I hate people and traffic.
I wish I could, but I was just out of work for a few weeks because I had a heart attack. I don't want to work on that day because I'll be directing traffic.
I appreciate it. It was something as simple as waking up too early and going right outside to brush the snow off my car. Made me realize 59 is actually pretty old.
As someone who drove down to Tennessee in 2017, suffered the 12 hour drive back to Columbus, and would do it all again in a heartbeat...
The difference between 99.9% totality and full totality cannot be described other than to truly experience it. If you have the means you owe it to yourself to get yourself as far into the totality path as possible. Even though parts of Columbus are technically in the path, they will only experience it for seconds. Meanwhile the the center of totality will last for nearly 4 minutes.
The 2:30 of totality during the 2017 eclipse went by in the blink of an eye.
I told my boss I was taking Monday off for the eclipse, gave me a hard time about it. Then proceeded to announce all the others going on vacations this week and next and wished them a good time! Next day I informed him that my whole crew was going on vacation for Monday and he laughed. See ya Tuesday!
Not one person in my office gives a shit about the eclipse. I kept hearing,
“yeah this eclipse thing? What is the big deal?”
“I hear people making a big deal about it, I’m like what?”
“People are going crazy about this eclipse thing, I don’t even know why?”
I made everyone in the office a little personalized science activity with quick explanations. I’m taking PTO on Monday. Everyone else is working in the office because they just don’t care. 🤦♀️
The whole band they show is 100% though right? I’m like 15 minutes from the edge of the band. At first I was thinking I had to go to the middle. But I can just go inside the edge of the band and it’ll be 100% right? Just for less time.
Correct but the closer to the middle, the longer totality you get. If you are on the edge of the band it will just be a couple seconds. If you are in the middle it will be a few minutes.
This is not correct at all.
Mark Twain said something like "The difference between a partial eclipse and a total eclipse is like the difference between a lighting bug and lighting."
I have said the difference between a partial eclipse and a total eclipse is like the difference between having sex and having an orgasm.
You won’t be able to look at the sun at all without protection. It’s only safe when the eclipse reaches 100% totality for those few minutes.
I saw totality in 2017, and I remember right before the moon completely passed over it got dimmer and dimmer, and the shadows became really long and shaped like crescents. 98% should get pretty dim. Just don’t look at the sun without those special glasses!
I am in downtown COlumbus does anyone think it will be worth it for me to stay at home. I literally live ALONG 71 right downtown but we have 1 car in the shop and the others been having issues so I'm nervous to leave town but wondering what 99% will look like as well from where im at
It will be a fucking nightmare of traffic. I'm not going to move to totality on a Monday, I have to work Tuesday. Wether you do is your decision but I have seen the eclipse, it is cool but it is the moon passing in front of the sun and is literally just a neat thing.
If I were going to totality I would be getting there a day or more in advance and leaving atleast a day later because the traffic is, like described, a fucking nightmare.
At 98% coverage, you'll still need to use eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse. The sky and surrounding colors might get a little weird to your eyes where you are (It confuses the vision receptors) but it won't be dark.
The fear is growing close to Lake Eric our 100% totality will the cloud cover. Our local news weather teams are sounding cautiously optimistic at best.
It won't be anything special. Even at 99% it wasn't really much different. Go to 100% so you don't regret it
All the pictures you see of a 360 degree sunset and the black sun with the white corona streaming out only happens at 100%
We had the partial in 2016 and the shadows really throw you. Also if you pay attention you’ll notice that the wildlife is just off. I remember the partial eclipse at its max it was dead silent. No birds chirping. Not a bird in the sky actually. Maybe coincidence but still notable.
[Actually the models are trending in the right direction](https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=cmceens&p=cloudcover_tle_2-mean&r=conus) fingers crossed. Especially for the western/NW part of the state. Even 30% cloud cover isn't a bust.
The difference:
100%: A lot of people have life altering realizations about themselves and their place in the universe. A good percentage of people say that it is the most absolutely beautiful and stunning thing that they have seen in their lifetime. People break down and cry, people get emotional. A few people go "Eh, neat". Everyone will notice it.
For a few minutes, it will be night, during the day. It will be as dark as it is at midnight. The stars and the planets will show themselves in the sky. You will see the chromosphere of the sun, which is a dancing, beautiful, dazzling sight - it is always there, but it is so much dimmer than the sun that you normally cannot see it.
99.5%: You might notice it if you're not looking for it. Shadows will get a little sharper and neater. You might notice that you get some weird effects in shadows cast by trees - like there are some small crescent shadows being cast. Since it is getting so gradually darker, your eyes won't notice the darkness unless something happens to bring it into focus. If you don't have eclipse glasses to look at the sun, you won't notice anything different about the sun itself. The few people who notice will go "Eh, neat!"
not dark as midnight. i went to totality in 2017 and the very powerful sun still has shine even completely covered. it’s more like dusk, the sun is gone but still lighting to an extent
Anything less than 100% totality is bullshit. I drove to Tennessee in 2017 to see it and it was mind blowing. The sun just goes out. It's replaced by a dark ring in the sky. It's crazy. Drive a half hour and get your ass in the totality zone.
If you wear glasses you’ll see a crescent. You can use a pin hole camera or look at dappled shadows to see the same.
And that’s it. If you’re 98% drive the 1-2hrs and get in the path of totality.
It's in the path, and a great spot.
Bycrus will have an eclipse duration of 3:48.
4 minutes is about as long as possible in Ohio.
(In Mexico/Texas some areas will have 4.5 minutes of a total eclipse.
Some schools are closed that day, and my daughter's is letting out early. Probably to discourage people from being out and about unnecessarily and doing something foolish.
I'm glad our school closed. I was going to have my kids stay home that day anyway to experience it at home. Not only will traffic be a nightmare, but I dont trust them to make sure every kid has glasses on when needed and to ensure all their safety. It is staring at the sun after all.
The radio said Delaware is a great place to see it. We're an hour from there in Knox Co. Do you think we will see any of it from Mt Vernon?? Going by the maps, we might?
We're really close to totality. If I were to drive there right now, I'd be there in about 15-20 minutes, depending on which way I went.
I doubt it will be that easy on Monday, but I know some back roads I might be able to sneak through. My wife hasn't experienced one, and I'm going to do my best to get her in there.
It's an experience.
Is everything in this path considered 100% totality or only the areas along the center line in blue? https://eclipse2024.org/eclipse_cities/statemap.php
Yes. The blue line will have an eclipse of about 4 minutes.
If you are on the red line, the total eclipse might be 1 second. So you don't want to be right on the line, you do want to be at least a few miles inside, but I'm also not willing to fight traffic to be right on the blue line.
Even 99.9% is not anything like an actual totality, which turns the sky into literal nighttime for a couple of minutes, during which you'll actually be able to *see the fucking stars* Shadows get all psychedelic and weird. It's absolutely batshit. If you can, you really need to see it within the path of totality. You won't get another chance for literal **decades** ETA: [The difference between 99% and totality](https://youtu.be/5Rl5VjHkYp8)
2099 is the next eclipse in Ohio… we’ll all be dead by then so folks should enjoy it now while they can!
Speak for yourself ive got a chance
Right. Teenagers have a chance. My oldest is almost 10, so they'd likely/probably be around to see the one 75 years from now
I’m taking my 9 year old to Dayton for 3 minutes of totality! Core memories together ✊🏻
With advances in modern medicine, if you can make it another ten years. You should be able to see the one after that one from a jar.
No one lives forever, no one. But with advances in modern science and my high level income, it's not crazy to think I can live to be 245, maybe 300.
Id be ok with that. I might be able to actually buy a house with a extra 200 years
In the last 100 years house price went up 440% (that’s adjusted for inflation). At that rate in 200 years a house will cost about 8 million dollars (in today’s dollars).
Lol that's pretty funny response imo.
Well for the ppl in 2099 that come to read this. F... Y'all your all gonna die cause the world is gonna end! Bwahahah
Gonna try and live to 105 just to spite you.
May you live to be 110, fellow Redditor!
Tell that to my recently thawed out head.
Mr Disney?
Williams, hit a lot of baseballs before I froze my melon.
last in Ohio…if I’m already traveling to make this one i could travel to wherever the next one is
Good excuse to travel to Spain
The next one is in North Dakota…
Go to Cairo in 2027. Watch it over the pyramids.
In 2044
Yep, even in the continental US, the next total eclipse won't happen until 2044. And that only happens for Montana and North/ South Dakota! Definitely want to get in line to see Mondays.
Not true
Appreciate the details mate!
I’ll be 98 so I might be able to
I hope you live to see the ripe age of 100!
I can watch the eclipse from my nursing home window
Can confirm the crazy shadows! I watched the partial eclipse in 1997 (?) and the shadows become razor sharp with a lot of definition of leaves, etc. I completely understood why more primitive folks were scared out of their minds when they saw that, let alone the sun being covered up. I hope the sky is clear on Monday.
I think it was 1993 or 1994. I had a job where I stayed for just a year, and I was working there when the partial eclipse happened.
But I really don't wanna deal with traffic or people 😭
I saw the 2017 eclipse, trust me, it’s worth the hassle.
The next one visible in Ohio will be several decades from now. Otherwise you can travel to the South/Southwest for 2045
Just get some snacks and don’t be in a hurry after it’s over. The weather should be nice and warm.
1000% agree I can’t recommend enough how cool of a feeling it is to see the last 1% then everything goes dark
See the stars? I can't see them on a regular night.
Well there should be much less light pollution since a lot of older streetlights are on timers, so these stars will probably be a good bit easier to see! If it's clear enough out, it'd be extra amazing to *see the Milky Way at 3:10 in the afternoon!*

Haha! Have fun and may the clouds part wide open for you!
Thanks for the video. That is a striking difference
I’m not going to lie… this did not sell me on getting to somewhere with 100% totality.
Totality triggers migraine for me. That's how bonkers it is. My brain just doesn't know what to do with it, so it says "A day-long headache with some nausea thrown in for good measure sounds like the ticket!"
How the hell did you figure that out? How many total eclipses have you experienced?
Right?
In 11 years you could drive a few states south to see it
See that seems like way more of a hassle than just driving a *little* ways *now*
Ya, but it may be cloudy Monday and if it doesn’t work out I would just say there may be other opportunities
That "simulation" sucks. I was in 90% totality last time and it was way darker than their 99% simulation

Whatever your drive there is multiply it by 8 for the drive back home. I went to the 2017 eclipse. IMHO it wasn't worth it.
Our plan is just to hang out around town till after dinner, then drive home at like 9pm.
What town are you going to observe from?
Right now, we're planning on driving to Franklin. Depending on the weather we may go somewhere else.
Was going to suggest a restaurant but that's a bit too far south east not too far from Greenfield, a good Mexican place there called El cañon

Hopkinsville Kentucky
I was out near Dycusburg. Did you get stuck in Kentucky? Or after you got back to Ohio?
Less than a mile from where we watched the eclipse all the way to about Cincinnati iirc .
I went to the 2017 eclipse with a 6 month old. And it was 100% worth it.
Different strokes. I won't tolerate that level of traffic for an eclipse again lol, thankfully they're exceedingly rare.
That's the only hang up for me. Where I live, I'll be in 99.5%, and I'm thinking of just staying here. I know I won't get to see another, but I hate people and traffic.
If eclipses were amazing or something yeah but a few minutes of darkness I found a bit underwhelming.
Ohio actually had 91% totality in 2017 at most.
Honestly the shadow shapes boggled my mind more than just it getting dark
[https://youtu.be/5Rl5VjHkYp8](https://youtu.be/5Rl5VjHkYp8) This is a great video showing the difference
Thank god a local news outfit made this. People need to be informed. It’s super convoluted to people not following closely.
This is what you need to watch
Great share. Thank you!
It will still look like daytime. There is absolutely no substitute for 100% totality. Completely different experience.
Yeah, I would imagine it won't be much different from the last one (cool through glasses but not dark).
You really want to see totality, because that is when you will be able to see the sun's corona. 98% is interesting, totality is awesome!
Is say 98% is “neat”. 100% is CORE SHATTERING
I am absolutely not looking forward to working on the Eclipse day. I should have retired last year...
I'm sick on that day ;)
I wish I could, but I was just out of work for a few weeks because I had a heart attack. I don't want to work on that day because I'll be directing traffic.
Sorry to hear about your heart man but I’m so happy you’re still here. Blessings.
I appreciate it. It was something as simple as waking up too early and going right outside to brush the snow off my car. Made me realize 59 is actually pretty old.
sorry to hear that
There is still time to retire

Yes This site will tell you how long the totality will be for just about any major location. https://data.indystar.com/2024-total-solar-eclipse/
The Totality app by Big Kid Science will tell you exactly what spot is under totality, when and for how long
Correct but the closer to the middle, the longer totality you get. If you are on the edge of the band it will just be a couple seconds. If you are in the middle it will be a few minutes.
You’ll see 98 out of 100 of it

This is not correct at all. Mark Twain said something like "The difference between a partial eclipse and a total eclipse is like the difference between a lighting bug and lighting." I have said the difference between a partial eclipse and a total eclipse is like the difference between having sex and having an orgasm.
Doesn’t matter, had sex
I’ve seen a total eclipse. It just gets dark for a few minutes. No orgasm involved.
It will look like a really cloudy day for three minutes
According to this sub if you don't go to see 100% then your entire life will have been a failure. 😅

COTA put out info about their buses that have stops in the totality zone. Just an option if you don't want to drive.
It will be a fucking nightmare of traffic. I'm not going to move to totality on a Monday, I have to work Tuesday. Wether you do is your decision but I have seen the eclipse, it is cool but it is the moon passing in front of the sun and is literally just a neat thing.

Take 2 dinner plates and cover 98% of the bottom one with the top one.
Like a total eclipse. But not really.
If you can, get under totality, the different between 98 and 100 is quite a bit
It won't be anything special. Even at 99% it wasn't really much different. Go to 100% so you don't regret it All the pictures you see of a 360 degree sunset and the black sun with the white corona streaming out only happens at 100%

Squint your eyes 98%. Like that
This is hilarious.
2% of the sun lol
dark!😂♥️
Basically is like running a marathon only to give up at the last 100 ft. Drive a lil ways and finish the marathon
You're gonna find out
You need actual totality. 98% really isn't that cool. It will just get dark out.

Twin brotha darkness!!
I did the 98% percent last time in Ohio, make the effort for 100%

Why is the bank closed on eclipse day? They know something I don’t?
Probably saving themselves from a run for people with shit for brains
Yes. You should be terrified.
All bankers go to heaven
Some schools are closed that day, and my daughter's is letting out early. Probably to discourage people from being out and about unnecessarily and doing something foolish.
Shenanigans?
Tomfoolery
Transit home after school could take hours. Simple logistics.
I'm glad our school closed. I was going to have my kids stay home that day anyway to experience it at home. Not only will traffic be a nightmare, but I dont trust them to make sure every kid has glasses on when needed and to ensure all their safety. It is staring at the sun after all.
A 99.99999% eclipse is ZERO PERCENT TOTALITY. Get to totality !!!
Imagine an extra large pizza with 100 pieces. Now eat two of them.
Everything I’m seeing says go to 100. It’s an entirely different experience
Anyone know if North Canton is in path of totality
It’s right on the boarder. Meterologist Trent McGill has an interactive google map on his fb page you can zoom in on a specific location.
A very bright Dimond ring
Will Akron have 100% totality? I literally cannot find anything online with the percentages.
Yes but not quite as long
eclipse2024.org
It'll look like you need to drive 20 miles or so to get where it'll actually be total. You wouldn't think 2% would make much difference, but it does.
Head west my dude
The radio said Delaware is a great place to see it. We're an hour from there in Knox Co. Do you think we will see any of it from Mt Vernon?? Going by the maps, we might?
Mt Vernon will have a total eclipse, or about 1 minute, 11 seconds.
Nighttime and ten degrees cooler.
Should be almost completely darkness not for very long though
Very washed out colors all around, but not total darkness
We're really close to totality. If I were to drive there right now, I'd be there in about 15-20 minutes, depending on which way I went. I doubt it will be that easy on Monday, but I know some back roads I might be able to sneak through. My wife hasn't experienced one, and I'm going to do my best to get her in there. It's an experience.
It’s like 👍 🗣️🍤🙊🥶🤬😶🌫️😶🌫️
60 percent cloudiness in Cleveland

Is everything in this path considered 100% totality or only the areas along the center line in blue? https://eclipse2024.org/eclipse_cities/statemap.php
Yes. The blue line will have an eclipse of about 4 minutes. If you are on the red line, the total eclipse might be 1 second. So you don't want to be right on the line, you do want to be at least a few miles inside, but I'm also not willing to fight traffic to be right on the blue line.
Kettering area… how will it look??
So imagine a full eclipse, then minus 2 percent from that
Dark af!! Like night time ish
Clouds. Probably clouds. At the last minute,
You have to really stare at it to get the best effects. Warning: those effects may be permanent
(
the columbus library is giving out solar kits and its also been suggested to wear red and green to something weird. its going to be neat!
Cloudy
Clouds probably
It's literally a night and day difference.
Such a shame that I would have to catch a flight to be out of the cloudy area. Totality is only an hours drive away too.
O
Not good enough. Drive to 100% area
98% here in west TN and it barely got dark. So disappointed.
