A one-in-a-lifetime spectacle to be sure.

They happen about every 12 to 18 months somewhere across the world.

lucky you. there hasn't been one (Total Eclipse) in Louisiana in my lifetime.

the next one is in 2045.

yeah if you travel the world chasing them they happen a lot, but for most people it's pretty damn rare that it happens where they live.

Last total eclipse in the u.s for 44 years. This is the only one I'll see in my life time...much less directly over my house.

Fyi...I have no social media.
