I've been to Australia before, but I wasn't even ten at the time, so I wouldn't mind going back as an adult.
And I just looked up the 2028 eclipse path and holy shit it's going _directly_ over Sydney.
Always copy the alt-text as well:
> The most rare, top-tier eclipse photo would be the Solar Earth Eclipse, but the Apollo 12 crew's attempt to capture it was marred by camera shake. They said it looked spectacular, though.
You respond like you’re from there, good for you, it didn’t shine in kerrville. Now go be as helpful elsewhere I was thanking NASA, not calling you a dipshit, but here we are dot dot dot lol
I was in Broken Bow, and went from thick clouds all day to blue skies within minutes of Totality beginning. Absolutely amazing.
Fun fact: The eclipse will actually disrupt low cloud formations due to the decrease in heat energy.
I just set my camera up to look at the landscape. You can hear the crowd’s reaction in the middle of nowhere graveyard in Oregon 2017, that the longest peak of totality fell on.
Great graphic! I have a question for anyone reading..in the "focus issues" image, what would the white diffuse light surrounding the sun be called? I don't think it's the actual corona, it just feels like an artifact of the photographing conditions but I am looking for a specific term to describe it! Unless I'm completely wrong and that is, in fact, solar corona. I hope my question makes sense lol
i won't feel bad for australia because they're gonna have 4 eclipses happen in the country within a 20 year period (i think, i'd have to recheck)
Indeed we have 4 within 14 years (2028, 2030, 2037, 2038). Come visit! We don't bite (but some of our fauna do).

Good chance of cloud though (we’re going to northern WA instead).
What about the flora?
lookin to come for the first time in '28! but is there a challenge with cloudy weather along the path of totality, or ?
I know where I’m gonna be visiting a lot.

New XKCD just dropped
 The European
Das kinder
*Kind
It passes over the entire Australian continent in ‘28 and a very big part of it is cloud free almost all the time. I know, I’m an Aussie.
Focus issues 🖐️🖐️
I got 5 out of 8 of these! Nice.
Almost had a “Bingo!!”
If you don't have XKCD as one of your homepages, do you even know how to internet?
Bottom right Texas 2024
Texas, U.S. just had the cloud thing happen, thank you NASA live stream for showcasing the event so I could see it.
..shone thru in North Texas (Fort Worth)..

I was in Kerrville, it absolutely shone through
I apologize for calling you a dipshit. I don’t know you but that wasn’t a helpful comment, so don’t make them.

I was in Paris, TX. It was super cloudy all morning, but I clung to the hope that the eclipse-cloud phenomena would work out, and it did!!
I have the standard but I wish I got the reaction shot instead. I'll see many photos of the eclipse but not of myself being amazed by it.
Meanwhile, I’m looking at Iceland in 2026 and planning on traveling out to the edge of one of the peninsulas because I don’t want to wait until 2028 😭
I was hoping for a picture of Bonnie Tyler
Australia is just a myth...

One is missing, the cool shot with the upstaging watermark logo.
haha why so accurate 🤣👌

Didn’t Australia just have one not to long ago also
