It seems like people are losing their damn minds over this and I can't fathom why. Are you one of the people who think this is the greatest thing ever? If so, why? Maybe I am in the minority, but who cares?

Sean, any feelings yet if rural northeast Kansas is going to be overrun on Monday? My uncle and I are planning on driving up to tomorrow night to work on tree stands and our hunting house. We are using the eclipse as an excuse to go...or maybe we are using tress stands as an excuse to see the eclipse. Our likely plan is to wake-up Monday morning and just go find a back road. Thoughts?
You can only look at it without eclipse glasses during the total eclipse portion (if you are in zone of totality). If you are not in the totality zone, or if you are in the zone and the moon is not fully covering the sun yet, then you must wear the glasses when looking at the sun.PANHANDLE10 said:
So the map says I'm in the 80% range. Can I look right at it? Are my eyes really going to pop out of my head? Or is someone just trying to sell me some glasses?

There is a reason hippies go ape **** for this and regular working folk don't even know about it.

The issue is on a normal day the sun is so bright you can't stare right at it for a extended period of time. With the 80% blockage you'll be able to start at long enough to do serious damage.DallasAggies01 said:
From what I've read it's no worse than looking at the sun on a normal day. Which you're not supposed to do anyway.
