About the James Webb Telescope perhaps?

It's really an awesome cyclone. I mean, how many Earths fit into this red sinkhole??
Nevertheless, the great red spot used to be even bigger:
But what makes me really curious about tonight's flyby, is how deep the red spot extends into the planet. Some scientists say the red spot is still a giant scar 'after-effect of an incredible large comet impact several thousands of years ago.
And for teardrops of Jupiter:

Here you see a picture of the eclipsed sun with the pink-ish protuberanses and the white corona shine:
It was.....dark for those 3 mins. With a distinct circular dawn(or sunset) shine around every part of the horizon. Birds were fooled and were suddenly 'flying to bed'. All the tourists on the campsite started applauding and shouting like a bunch of kids. For a short moment, humanity really got impressed from all that wonder. Here's the zone of totality from August 11th 1999, the 21st of the 145th Saros cycle:

And now the USA can enjoy exactly that what has been carved in my memory so dearly. On Monday, August 21st the 22nd of the 145th Saros Cycle eclipse will take place. This is the path of totality:
I truly recommend all citizens in the USA and all other nationalities residing there on Monday, to travel to that zone of totality. You will experience true magic and wonder. And you will have a one-time memory that you can share with your family and children.
You live in West-Virginia. If you can, try to go to Nashville, Tennessee. Or Hopkinsville, Kentucky. That's where the totality zone goes through. Mind you, the totality zone is a must. That's where it really gets dark. Outside the totality zone it's only a bit more shimmery. But no darkness.
Much, much easier said than done. If I don't see it from where I am, it's no big deal.
Now you know what it is like to live in the UK when something cool like this is going to happen! Lol!
I was quite Lucky back in 1999 when I was in Luxembourg. Completely bright sky, almost no clouds. It really looked like this:
Mind you, above images you will only witness in the zone of totality.
Wow Gustav! Those photographs are stunning! When things like this happen? It really makes you realise how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things!
In todays world sadly you are most likely correct with that assumption Creasy47!
I do appreciate those that do, though, since it gives those of us who can't view it such as myself an opportunity to check it out. Still, if I was in one of those prime areas to catch this, I'd likely throw on the appropriate shades and soak it all in.
And set some sort of recording equipment at the same time for prosperity? That is what I would certainly do!
That's a win/win right there!
Only 4,5 hours left USA, and then you'll witness true magic :-D!
