Thought about posting to the Astronomy thread but its a big event, figured it deserved its own thread.
Is anyone going to do anything special to see the upcoming total solar eclipse?
Won't see it here in Maryland, but I've got relatives in the various parts of the totality path and will likely go visit them for the event. Not sure which, one gets 50% longer totality than the other but I'll get out that way early and check the weather forecast the day before deciding which one get burdened with my visit for the event. Would be disappointing to multi day road trip to see it and have it be overcast.
Went to Wyoming for the one in 2017. Traffic went absolutely nuts after it was over. I expect hotels will be packed for this one.
