It's this Saturday. It's going to cut through the US, part of Central America, and South America.

It's not a lunar eclipse, it's an annular solar eclipse.

Not as exciting as a regular solar eclipse. The moon is in a farther position of its orbit to not be able to fully cover the sun.

I don't know, annular is different so there is that.

I've seen full eclipses, (probably 3 or 4 since I was little), this will be my first annular. I jubhappen to live where it'll pass.

Cloudy af here. PNW. Right in the line of it and won't be able to see it.

On and off rain here in my part of the south and constantly cloudy skies. Won't be able to see a thing either. :/

Oh trust me I have been telling everyone with ears to listen about it. I expect some nut jobs to call it the end times.
