Total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024
web.archive.org
On April 8, 2024, part of Canada will observe a total solar eclipse. When the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, many spectators will be plunged into temporary darkness.

Safety tips:

  • Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren’t safe
  • Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don’t have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
  • Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
  • When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.

      Meh, they go blind and can’t vote because

      1. they can’t see and are too stupid/stubborn to ask for help.

      2. they demonized mail-in-voting so much they won’t do it.

      I see it as an absolute win! [Banner Endgame jpeg]
