Viewing August 2017 solar eclipse from Jacksonville FL?

7 years 3 weeks ago #521699 by Lindsey
I just found out that I have a required trade conference in Jacksonville, FL during the  week of the solar eclipse.  Which means our family trip up north will need to be canceled.  :(

Anyone happen to know if being located in Jacksonville will still get any view of the eclipse?

You'll see it, but just partial

I was reading that everyone in the U.S. should see it.  My wife is getting into photography and wants to take a road trip up north.  Frankly I don't feel like driving up to Oregon for a 2 minute experience.  

I told her we would camp out on the beach that day.  Should see something.  Even from here.

Unfortunately, I think you'll be missing out this year – looks like the furthest south it will get is the Carolinas

My photography club is doing a group buy on solar filters as we speak.  This should be great to see.  Interesting fact that I found out last week is that there is always a eclipse happening somewhere in the world.

When the sun is blocked by the moon, isn't there a ring of fire that is still seen?  Can you view that with naked eye with out damage?

It's going to be exciting, this will be #1 for me.  Anyone seen an eclipse before?

Don't get too excited, half the country will be cloudy as usual for the big event, and Yasmine, do NOT look at the sun without eye protection!

Why so serious?
