Austrian guy here. Coming over to Texas for the eclipse. Thank you for all the information! 🙂 "Thin light", yes, this nails it. It's kinda spooky, to be honest. (1999 it was not that prominent in my place, but 2006 in Turkey the last seconds ahead of totality it was very, very thin, this sunlight. Everything seems to become one-dimensional. Creepy.
Hi, this is Gordon the developer of the Solar Eclipse Timer app that the Astro Guy mentions at 13:30 in this video. I am happy that he mentioned the app, but he failed to mention that to buy the 2024 data set to time the eclipse requires an in-app purchase of $1.99. Yes, the app is free to download and play with to see if you want to use it. But again, it costs $1.99 to actually use it to time the eclipse. It is well worth it though. It is the same price as one pair of solar eclipse glasses. Thanks!

I hope that you get a great view in Texas! Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll add that to the show notes and mention it my next episode.
Hard to believe we’re almost exactly 1 month away from Eclipse Day! Can’t wait 👍🏾
