Total Eclipse Aug. 21st?

I know what you're saying but that's not something that happens. The more you try to be calm and peaceful, the more the energy can hit you hard. With the symbolism of light and darkness, the eclipse hits my friend's and my charts most where they are light, so that we both get energy of darkness and lack of consciousness. Impossible to change, but hopefully might be tied into the awareness of the lack of lightness, if I try to funnel the energy into my life somehow.

That's cool where did you get the glasses?

Thanks. Yeah, they're traveling to where the eclipse will be 100%.

The eclipse isnt 100% at my farm but 3 hour drive away on the ither side of Ky it will be. Im not ging there...figure Im clise enough to satisfy me

You know there will be plenty of news coverage, you can see it then. Plus no eye burn

I don't believe there is anything to be nervous or afraid of, if anything... it's something you look forward to, for many reasons. It's a beautiful natural phenomenon, but there are also many different other reasons to look forward to it. As some have pointed out, it could be related to prophecy, which is always an awesome thing. It can also be a catalyst to many positive changes about to occur here in the US. Those of you who either believe in or are interested in numerology may want to take a look at this, I found it interesting when I was shown it.

That was very interesting, thanks for sharing and I hope it's true. The USA could use some healing.

You're welcome.
I hope so too and I agree, it could use a lot of healing.

*hugs*

I hope it helped ease your anxiety.

Thanks but I don't think that will happen until it's over My biggest concern now is that North Korea may pull us into another war. A lot of innocent people
will suffer for that.

I really have a lot of concerns regarding the safety of this country and our citizens ( non-citizen people residing here are still in some danger but not as much as citizens). I don't think any country or it's leaders have to influence our government into anything - I think most of it is already planned before the public knows anything and most of the "reasons" for conflicts the public is given, are fictional. Our government is and has been corrupt for a very long time. I don't even pay much attention to what I hear on the news, unless it is something I can verify personally - because even most of the local news has been stretched out of proportion. Just be careful what you base your beliefs and thoughts on is what I am saying, especially where the government and it's practices are concerned.

I've been following the N. Korea events for a long time and thought they should have been addressed before it got to this point. He has gained the missiles to hit the USA now. He's not a rational man and hates the USA. N one wants war but we have to defend ourselves from Nuclear threats. I don't think N. Korea has the nuclear power yet but he's working on it.

I'm psyched. I saw a total eclipse when I was 9, many partial solar and lunar eclipses since then, and a super blood moon two years ago. I'm all over it.

Millions of others have the same idea. That's the latest estimate of how many eclipse tourists our state is gonna host in 12 days. I'm a clever planner, though. I've researched weather, roads, topography, celestial maps, a photographer's emphemeris, locals' advice, cops, nearby industry, drive times, park and forest rangers, and I'm gradually training myself to wake up at 1-2 AM so I can drive the four hours to my top 3 viewing spots in peace. Even if I don't make it, every mile I get closer on my route yields me a better view. If it's overcast, I'm still going.

Astronomical events are the greatest show on Earth, literally and figuratively, and they're free. I pity those who don't feel the rush.

I haven't really kept up with this, other than the fact that it is happening on the 21st.

Will Mississippi be able to experience it?

I could look it up but you all may know sooner than me finding the answer.

Looks like it will miss you, but you should see something right? There's only one moon and sun and we all see the moon at night

North Korea does have nuclear power, even nuclear weapons. Russia and the USA helped them develop nuclear power for things like electricity and etc, but they used that knowledge to develop weapons. (Really not too dumb an idea considering it's the only way to defend against a nuclear attack on your own country). That went against the deal Russia and the USA had with them. The USA not only pulled out of the deal however, but has been making a lot of threats and etc ever since attempting to control the production and any attacks or targeting of nuclear weapons in North Korea.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time...uclear_program

A lot of tension has risen between the two countries over the years as a result. Now, it's coming to a head. North Korea obviously doesn't have as many nuclear warheads as the USA, but it is unknown what the exact number is and to what strength their weaponry lie (though I am sure there have probably been military operations sent out to find that out by now). Depending on those things as well as if and what active allies they may make should they choose to fire upon us, they could indeed be a threat. Even one "weak" nuclear warhead does a lot of damage, sending several strong nuclear warhead to the right places, could cripple us, regardless of if they have more than us or not.

The attack most feared is an EMP (electomagnetic pulse). It is unknown if North Korea has a nuclear capability of this nature, but countries such as Russia do. This type of thing would cripple us and allow another country to easily take over or kill us off, as it would wipe out all electronics and computer technologies. That would render us incapable of operating most of our vehicles, the military would be unable to fire it's nuclear based weapons, or any other weapon requiring computer technology. Our communications with the outside world would be wiped since our phones, computers, and televisions would be inoperable. After an attack like that, we would more or less be "sitting ducks".

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack: A Preventable Homeland Security Catastrophe | The Heritage Foundation

President Trump has angered so many leaders, it is feasible to consider if North Korea decides to pull the trigger on us, Russia (the most powerful and most feared nuclear power in the world) or some other country with nuclear power may join in. Both Russia and China are big nuclear powers and both have been angered by Trump. It's a touchy situation, but I still have my suspicions about it all.

I beleive science is a part of religion. I am a Irish Catholic religion person so you know the idea of that. I think God is science and works through science, just my own thoughts rather than the catholic thoughts. thats my 2 cents

Oh man, I need to prepare for this event. It's going to be glorious and spectacular. I am thinking about buying at something like a pair of those special glasses that allows you to view things like this in perfect safety.

You know, in the days of yore, our ancient ancestors probably saw such events as world ending because they didn't understand the science behind such astrological phenomenon. I mean, imagine you're from a hunter/gatherer society back 10,000 years ago. You'd have the crap thoroughly scared out of you if the sun started disappearing behind a big black disk in the sky right in the middle of the day.

So, yeah, eclipses have been seen as an omen, or portents, by many different societies over the history of human civilization, so yeah, it's probably become ingrained in our psyche to at least find them still a bit unsettling.

Great excuse to close schools....for a 3min event

Seriously? When there was a partial solar eclipse back when I was in elementary school, I think it was in the early 90's or thereabouts, they had school open and did lessons on the way the earth and moon moved about the sun and we all went outside to view it when it happened. The whole school. Then we went back in and had lessons again.

Some classes made pinhole cameras to observe it, while other classes, like mine used special viewing glasses. Well, there were only a few pairs so we all had to take turns.

You should go. I'm sure there'd be some cool shadows if you stayed, but the totality experience is a once in a lifetime sort of thing. I also live a little distance (couple hours) from the totality, and my whole family is making a day trip out of it. It's literally one of the most incredible things that one can see.

Honestly, people are too overly frightened about all of this mess.

North Korea is about as big of a threat to the rest of the world as my 14 year old cousin. It's hard to take their idiot narcissist of a leader seriously because the guy has the emotional maturity of a kid and kids make poor leaders in a country. I say we should just do the entire world a favor and bomb them and be done with it. Every other first world country likely wants the kid tyrant gone and bombs are the most effective way of dealing with such a problem. If he tries to launch a nuke, nukes can be shot down.

I also don't think that nuclear wars are a threat because all humans value their own self interest above all else. If a nuclear war broke out it would threaten everything all humans (including those that are actually in power) hold dear. No human; especially not one who has the cunning and intelligence necessary to usurp a position of authority high enough to where they would have the power to launch a nuke would make such a decision because it would threaten their own self interest and position of authority.

So honestly, it's good for one's mental health to not worry about such things. I stopped paying attention to politics and I stopped thinking about the state that the world is in long ago and it was one of the more intelligent decisions I made in regard to my mental state. Overthinking things and pondering hypothetical "what ifs" accomplishes nothing and only brings those who do it more potential suffering.

Glad you are so nonchalant about it all.

Worry about this is only human. We all are concerned with the safety of all. The North Koreans are so brain washed that they think that the USA is actually a threat to them and they need to bomb us first. Any outside information that they get is monitored as to what they can hear. And they support their leader, or will have harmful consequences if they don't. Their leader is just crazy enough to start something though. Nuclear detonation will have ramifications around the world where ever it lands or explodes.
I think they should have addressed him much earlier, but so many thought he would never reach the level that he has. That was a stupid oversight.
Let's just hope someone call talk some sense in him and he stands down. They will have to deal with him eventually. He's not going to stop being a threat to the USA or USA controlled territories. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and how they may prepared for an act of war against the USA. I for one am making plans for survival, but that's just me.

Hoping nothing comes from this but you never know. I've been stoking up on canned goods and water, have some cash on hand in case a EMP strike which would knock electronics that run the USA, all computers, in cars, banks, gas stations, anything that runs on electronics.
Have some extra gasoline on hand, ammo, and be prepared to see the panic and worst in people come out. Will knock 911 systems, police systems, fire systems, hospitals paralyzed etc. It could be very serious. Preparing is just a safety feature and you can always use up what you have stored if not needed. Would rather be ready and not need it , than need it and not have it. Ya know?
We will just have to pay attention to what's going on and be ready to act. All communications will be knocked out and a plan needs to be made about a meeting spot if that should happen.
North Korea could be preparing an electromagnetic pulse strike on the US from space, expert claims | The Independent
This situationshouldn't be ignored, but we shouldn't panic and keep a clear head for planning.

I agree. That's why I made my previous response. Just laying it all out there with facts. No emotion present in it. It was laid out as a research paper would be so people can check it out for themselves if they so desire. I don't have any money to do the preparation thing so if it happens, I will just do whatever I can. I still believe informing people is best though. Everyone can decide to do whatever​ they want with the knowledge.
