Eclipse tomorrow 4.8.24 will be the last over the US for 20 years

That was an eclipse in my country (USA) many years ago.

There was a total eclipse in 2017, visible from a path stretching from Oregon to South Carolina. Before that, the latest visible from the US I see in the maps (NASA Reference Publication 1178) was in 1991, visible from the big island of Hawaii.

Northern parts of New York City saw a total eclipse in January of 1925, although, if it wasn't snowing, it would have been seen better from upriver in Poughkeepsie. I doubt there are many alive today who remember that one.

Today it clouded up for me, but an occasional break in the clouds revealed a thin crescent sun. Fortunately, I found my old eclipse glasses from 2009 (China).
