Solar Eclipse - Monday August 21, 2017


I think that you'll find the Solar Eclipse Megathread over in /r/Oregon to be very valuable.

Additionally an AmA was also held in late July by representatives of Oregon agencies and organizations with a lot of valuable information as well.


This is a great interactive map that shows the path of totality in great detail. You can enter your exact location by address or GPS coordinates and get the exact time and obscuration percentage of the eclipse. 100% obscuration is totality.


Eclipse Glasses can be found at Fred Meyer and Bi-Mart for $1.99/each. Wal-Mart (online at least) is sold out. Everything I saw on Amazon (for Prime) that wasn't recalled was overpriced.

Eclipseglasses.com has the best prices I've found (online at least) for bulk orders [25 minimum @ $4each]


OregonLive forecast for 19 Oregon Cities 08/14/17

TL;DR

  • If you don't already have a place or know someone its not going to happen.
  • The eclipse will begin in Portland at 9:06am culminating at 99% at 10:19am.
  • The difference between 99% and totality is literally day and nite.
  • The traffic that day will suck. Be patient.
  • Don't look at the sun (even at 99%) without the special glasses.

Any other questions ask them here or at the stickied MEGATHREAD in /r/Portland
