No Eclipse For Us.
Sunday, as you probably know, there is an eclipse. But not for us in Cayman. It will be dark here when the eclipse happens. Which is a shame, because as you know. I like stuff like that.
Below is the best eclipse map I could find today. Click to enlarge. A week ago I found some really really nice maps, and thought "I'm gonna put those on my blog" Now I can't find them. Typical. However, the map below is very good. Maybe you will see at least a partial eclipse.
I remember years ago I was laying on the beach, and a cloud passed over the sun. Through the clouds, I could see spots on the sun. I thought to myself, "Sunspots?" I got up and drove to the auto parts store and bought a replacement lens for a welding mask and looked at the sun again. Yeah, definitely saw black spots on it.So I posted a question on some astronomy forum or another about if I was seeing actual sunspots and the answer was yes, you can sometimes see sunspots with just your eye.
Of course, you should never look at the sun with the naked eye, right?

I like all the maps and weather sites you've found. Some forecasts are calling for tropical development - all I can say is NOOOOOO!
I think people in north texas can see it, but not here in central tex..too bad I'd like to see it.
My son, in Northern California, is going to take photos for me (I made him promise to look at it with safety precautions). Love the map. Oh, when you find something you like there are some good ways to just save it right then, from the immediate download to posting it to a special place - that you'll probably forget about but it's worth a try!
We won't see it either, so you are not the only one.
