David Von Pein Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Like millions of others in the United States, I experienced the incredible total solar eclipse today (Monday, April 8th, 2024). Total darkness descended upon my front yard in central Indiana at 3:06 PM (EDT) and lasted for almost four minutes. It was an amazing sight to be sure. And in Dallas, Texas, at the site of President Kennedy's assassination, many people gathered to watch the eclipse in Dealey Plaza. I captured the three images below via the Sixth Floor Museum's Dealey Plaza Cam. Click to enlarge: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjan Rynkiewicz Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Which reminds me that an eclipse in 1919 was the start of our present Einsteinian dark age of science. The fake 1919 measurement of the bending of starlight passing near the Sun supposedly confirmed Einstein's predicted bending of light, & gave impetus to the Einsteinist cult, the cult is still active today. Cultists will adore Einstein on the anniversary of his death (14 march 1979 -- 18 april 1955). I have shown that Einstein's prediction was correct, ie his postulates (re what we might call the bending of time)(plus what we might call the bending of space) do indeed lead to a doubled bending, ie doubled compared to the old simple calculation for Newtonian bending. And i have shown that Einstein's prediction is based on faulty reasoning & faulty postulates. And, after being No1 re Einsteinian krapp, i got bored & came to the jfk forums, where i am now No1 re jfk krapp. It took me 2 years to solve the dark age of jfk. Solving the dark age of Einsteinian krapp took me 8 years. Edited April 8 by Marjan Rynkiewicz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marjan Rynkiewicz Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Back on 23 Oct 1976 i was fishing on the end of the Mordialloc pier in Melbourne, all alone, when the Sun went out. I did not even know that we were going to have an eclipse. The seagulls got a fright & went quiet. Most of them roost on an island at night, & they thort that they had missed the boat. I think i caught a few small gars. Melbourne will see another eclipse on 26 December 2038 (ie 62 years after the 1976 eclipse). I will post some pix.

Ron Ecker Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I kept thinking all day today about that line spoken by a hen-pecked husband in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: "Never fall in love during a total eclipse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I watched the eclipse from the university football stadium in Stephenville Texas, with just a wag, 1000-2000 others. They had a split screen on the 66' X 22' video screen. 1/2 was a stream from 10 miles away at the schools Hunnewell ranch where their telescope is of the eclipse as it progressed. The other of it from other cities via NASA, in Mexico, Dallas, Little Rock and Russellville Arkansas. So, you could take a break from leaning back to watch it through your "viewers", my back still ached a bit afterwards. They also played an incredible song list relating to the moon, sun, space without repeating anything. Many I've not heard in a while. Waiting for the Sun by the Doors, Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, Let the Sun Shine by Aquarius, Dancing in the Moonlight. Hot Dogs, Popcorn, Pretzels. A fun and festive mood with even a few people dancing to the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bulman Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Can't get this one out of my mind since they played it for the eclipse. Hadn't hear it in years. Thought sharing might cure my malady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamey Flanagan Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Judging from some of the pictures and film taken the day of the assassination, you'd almost think a solar eclipse was happening then due to how dark the images are in the Grassy Knoll area, lol!
