2017 Solar Eclipse Countdown

[al-Bosni]

If you live in North America, check to see if you will see the Eclipse and at what time. The entire United States will be able to see the eclipse this Monday. As well as some parts of Canada and Mexico. And 11 states in America will be able see the total eclipse, meaning 100% of the sun will be blocked by the shadow of the moon. My local mosque also plans on doing the eclipse Islamic prayer when it occurs.

Dosn't surprise me since your cult worships the moon.

[al-Bosni]

Dosn't surprise me since your cult worships the moon.
From the Quran:

"...Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but prostate to Allah, who created them, if it should be Him that you worship."

(41:37)

[Wanderer]

I'll probably take my lunch break later than usual to see it.

[al-Bosni]

It's too cloudy, I won't be able to see anything. I was going to use my welding visor to see the eclipse.

[Kriptc06]

can we see it in the southern hemisphere?

[al-Bosni]

I'm by the mosque currently and people had those special glasses that I used. The sun was about 90% covered here.

[Amaryllis]

Didn't know there was a prayer for it...
I only saw darkness and a bunch of fools out my window with their little protective glasses on..

It was the longest prayer of my life. And also my first such prayer.

Fools? It's a pretty cool phenomenon.

Stay off the alcohol and drugs.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Normally I'm interested in this shizzle but seeing so many people get worked up over it made it uncool and so I didn't care.

I was playing golf with a business client when it happened. They sky wasn't dark at all but it did have a tint to it, like wearing low level sunglasses.
