    Lunar eclipses are sorta cool, but, at the same time, sorta meh.
    Y'all are in for a treat in 2 years. You don't have to travel to see a total solar eclipse.
    Killeen is well within the path of totality.
    For the "great eclipse of 2017", I drove up north of Chattanooga to see it. It was amazing. You could feel the temperature drop.

    After my bedtime. It will have to happen without me.

    2017 was partial here. I took my welding helmet to work so we could see it. It was still a good view.

    2024 one is going to cool. I don't think I've ever experienced a total solar eclipse.

    2017 I was about 30 minutes south of the center line, where there was the maximum duration of totality. That meant I saw ~10 seconds less of totality.
    Close enough for me. It was still more than 2 minutes.

    The first time I had my wife look through the telescope at the moon, I got her going by telling her I could see the flag that the Lunar explorers planted. She must have squinted for 10 minutes before I let her in on the joke.
