What's all the hubbub about the solar eclipse

[CoyoteAngels]

What's all the hubbub about the solar eclipse? AP acts as if it's just an abundance of caution, but I don't ever recall all of this BS 

I wanted to drop this here and will add more later 

Seeing areas and organizations declaring states of emergency, seems like a gross overreaction...what am I missing

Various events mentioned 

CERN NASA & State of Emergency during Solar Eclipse.

• Solar eclipse on April 8th • NASA is firing 3 rockets at it • A "Devil Comet" will be visible during it • They’re turning on CERN on for first time since 2022 the same day • "Celestial explosion will briefly create new star in skies" Crazy week!

NASA Director warns of “Unusual Behaviors” during Eclipse and that Solar Eclipses have “Special Power”.

I don't know about all that marlarky, but I'm going to Austin where my brother, a laser engineer, has a word problem to solve.  He wants to chase the darkness by following the path as far as possible.  

I will be there when the big light goes out. 

I saw the total annular eclipse from Roswell, NM last Oct.  The path of these two eclipses cross in San Antonio. 

The total annular eclipse looked like a gold ring around the black disk of the moon.  The bright midmorning  beautiful blue sky got twiIighty  weird but not dark.  The upcoming Great American Eclipse hopefully will show Bailey's Beads, shining thru the mountains on the moon.  

If the gold ring followed by the diamonds aren't a 'signature'.
,  I don't know what else would be.   Infinitesimal  unlikely arrangement.
