How are you spending your Eclipse Day, 2017?

Many are finding this day in America, August 21, 2017, one of the most exciting to be alive in this century as the moon and stars align for a total eclipse of the sun. Totality.

By Linda Waggener

Eclipse 2017 includes our area -- over 98% totality -- as calculated by ACHS students 98.473% darkness here in Columbia, KY starting at 1:29pmCT and lasting until 1:31pmCT -- putting us in near total darkness.

According to the website Space.com, a solar eclipse can happen only when the moon is positioned between the sun and planet Earth as its shadow falls upon the surface of Earth.




So how are you and your family spending the day? Traveling closer to western Kentucky? Home? School? Here are a few things we know from previous news:

Time will stop when the earth goes dark for wedding vows to be exchanged in Little Cake, KY.

From Miss Vicky's Pampered Angus Ranch -- from Eclipse eye damage??
Response came from Michael Potter who said, "don't worry about the cows during the Eclipse, Only people stare at the sun."

Eclipse news from the last one to happen here:

In 2008

Last Eclipse showed up over the courthouse at night

Tony Harvey said Eclipse was best in many years.

The Great Eclipse Mon 21 Aug 2017: Block parties Downtown



2017-08-22 - Fountain Plaza, 1st Quadrant, Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
As much as anything, observance of the Great Eclipse in Downtown Columbia, occasioned what's best about the business/with-some-residential areas - an excuse to pause a few minutes from work and be with neighbors and friends. Left Rhonda Compton Cox from the Bank of Columbia, was busy taking photos for the Bank, and acquaintances and visitors who handed her a cell phone to record the moment. Vickie Thompson, was in the plaza spreading the word of the Relay for Life, and getting occasional views of the eclipse with borrowed eyewear - everyone was sharing - and hosting visitors. J.D.Zornes of Durham & Zornes, and Dan Antle of Reed Brothers, Insurance, were acting as docents for the town - something we all need to learn to be - for visitors who had come to Columbia to be just a bit closer the the Path of Totality. Groups were congregated in front of the Adair Annex, by Murrell Burton's Real Estate Office, in front of Town Barbershop, and elsewhere. The driver of the Performance Food Service truck - we didn't get his name, was in a great mood, but lamented, "The biggest event in my lifetime . . . and I have to work." Shortly after this scene, the Columbia observers were saying, "Got to get back to work . . . " and the great lives they share every day fell back into normal routines, but with unforgettable memories. - EW
