My bad. Left some stuff out.
"Landfall in the US" = Can only be seen in the US.
Also, I was only talking total eclipses.
I wasn't here for that 7 March 1970 total eclipse - so this is my first - but I did google. The path only ran through Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. It was mostly over the Gulf of Mexico and the ocean.
But hey, 2 more total eclipses can be seen here in 2024 and 2045 and I'll be watching. They'll be even closer than this one.
Still waiting for the 1st test launch of the new Angara heavy lift rocket. Will probaly happen from Plesetsk in Archangelsk and land in Kamchatka...
Btw, does anyone else agree that Vostochny should have been named Tsiolkovsky and just drop the name-change for Uglegorsk? I mean, they did try that in Volgograd and that was total fail...
