NASA has a brilliant plan to make the total solar eclipse last nearly 3 times as long

    Dave Mosher

    The total solar eclipse of August 21 will track eastward across the US starting around 9 a.m. PDT.
    NASA will fly "eclipse jets" to make totality — when the moon blocks out the sun — last nearly three times as long.
    The jets will use telescopes to study the sun's corona, or outer atmosphere.

I wish I could do this.

My plans for Wyoming had to be changed to Tennessee.  I'm fully expecting to be blocked by clouds, and, more likely, rain.   8888crybaby
