What’s in my eclipse bag? (2026)

  1. Pinhole camera (colander).
  2. Picnic blankets.
  3. Shadow-band detector (white sheet).
  4. Sunscreen.
  5. Sunshade.
  6. Green sensor to track Purkinje effect (T-shirt).
  7. Eclipse glasses.
  8. Entertainment (it’s a long wait).
  9. Hats.
  10. Red sensor to track Purkinje effect (T-shirt).

Following tradition, we’ve prepared some devices for scientific joy and discovery. We’ll bring these with us along with food and water. Stay hydrated and sunshadowed, it’s hot (until it’s not).

    I added the “(2026)” suffix in the title because I am optimistic that I’ll get to see another one. Life favors the prepared.

      When’s the most reasonable next eclipse you’d be able to see?

        It’d be a year from now. Longer and more central in the day. Though a more reduced area so logistics are a bit more complex.

          Oh fun, that’s actually much sooner than I would have guessed / expected; enjoy!
