@pratik @petebrown This morning was the first time I found out about it, and then I said to my partner, "Hey, didn't we have an eclipse like a year ago or something...?"

For an event that's supposed to happen once in a decade or so, it has happened 6 times since 2021 (per NASA). I get it that this is a "total" one and not "partial" or a "hybrid" (?!), but in NY, it's going to be halfway anyway. Not sure what's the big deal.
