Here is the video from our trip to Sodus Point Lighthouse to see the 2024 Eclipse Totality. Since it was overcast, we were unable to see all of the traditional views of the Sun and Moon that everyone was sharing. However, we were able to see something just as fantastic. We witnessed the shadow of the Moon on the overcast clouds as Totality rolled over Lake Ontario. Seeing the oval edge of Totality from the ground is something that everyone else who had clear skies would not see. The entire video is only seven and a half minutes long. I started recording just as it started getting dark and ended after the skies returned to normal. Totality was over four minutes long.

NEAF 2024 Extra Life Table
Today was a fun day at the Northeast Astronomy Forum! Christine was able to help me staff the table for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals EXTRA LIFE Gaming Marathon! With Christine’s help, I was able to get out and visit some of the other tables, and even one talk called ‘The Siberia Beyond Neptune’! I’ll post a picture of the swag later. We did get one signup today… and that person might bring some friends to make a team. We engaged with many more people from Jersey today. When interested people wanted to know more, I was able to run the videos about how it all stated with Tori, the video “The Miracle Is Our Network“, and the video about our current 2024 Hero Gabby. We gave away many SHARE cards… so there’s always a chance someone joins later. The biggest draw to the table was my mini-arcade Galaga! So many people stopped because that was their favorite game growing up. At the start of the convention, i had the top two scores…Now there are three people above me. I have some work to do.
Overall, it was a great time and a rewarding experience trying to get the word out about Extra Life and the great work that the Children’s Hospital does for kids!!!
