That may be my first day at a new job, so probably nothing. We're only going to get a glancing blow, anyways.
When I was in elementary school, there was nearly a total eclipse and someone's dad brought a welding mask to school, and we were able to watch it through that, which was really cool.

I remember that eclipse. I just looked right at it.

All hotels in our area and in upstate SC are booked. They are bringing in medivac helicopters because they are anticipating the traffic being so bad coming into the beach that they are worried about traffic when accidents happen. My friend is having a viewing party at a restaurant about 30 minutes away. I think I'll skip and walk the 3 blocks from my work to the beach.

They're anticipating thousands to flock here as well. I plan to just step outside of my office around that time. The university is encouraging instructors to cancel classes during that time too.
Are people really going to flock to these towns by the thousands?

It’s unclear if the signals, observed over a 30-minute period, emanate from black holes, rotating neutron stars, or if they represent signs of alien life.
