Aside from an hour long totality being silly and making no sense at all, why wouldn’t all totalities along the center line be the same length of time every eclipse? Isn’t it just the speed of the moon and rotation of the earth?
Astronomy, physics and geometry and shit
Duration
The following factors determine the duration of a total solar eclipse (in order of decreasing importance):[33][34]
- The Moon being almost exactly at perigee (making its angular diameter as large as possible).
- Earth being very near aphelion (furthest away from the Sun in its elliptical orbit, making its angular diameter nearly as small as possible).
- The midpoint of the eclipse being very close to Earth's equator, where the rotational velocity is greatest and is closest to the speed of the lunar shadow moving over Earth's surface.
- The vector of the eclipse path at the midpoint of the eclipse aligning with the vector of Earth's rotation (i.e. not diagonal but due east).
- The midpoint of the eclipse being near the subsolar point (the part of Earth closest to the Sun).
The longest eclipse that has been calculated thus far is the eclipse of July 16, 2186 (with a maximum duration of 7 minutes 29 seconds over northern Guyana).[33]

Refs whistles will be the only thing over this next 10 minutes that could make it interesting. Bigs gets in trouble for UCONN and could get Purdue back in this.
2 minutes ago, troph said:They are up by 11 letting edey go one on one. Edey gets his - sorta - and UConn is pulling away. Edey hasn’t dominated since the 8 min mark left in the first half. So far the UConn plan is working great. No need to double team him at all.
They have been bringing help the entire half...including when he threw that ball into the back court. It isn't overly committed help but just a guy there moving back and forth annoying Edey.
And again there....Spencer

The ball movement is just a thing of beauty

They need to get a shorter guy to come down on Edey when he has his back to the basket and annoy him from below before he gets a chance to face up. See how well he passes.
Yep

Edey looks tired already...

Good block by Edey and then a foul by Edey on the rebound by just pulling Conigan back.

Crowd is heavy Purdue

This is gonna be how it is with this staff outside Eovaldi. Wildly inconsistent.

Yikes...

Just fucking walk Alvarez....he's earned it.

I already smiled seeing Edey leave that first shot short.

Yea no
The longest known totality was 7 minutes and 28 seconds in 743 B.C. However, NASA says this record will be broken in 2186 with a 7 minute, 29 second total solar eclipse. The next total solar eclipse visible from parts of the U.S. won't happen until Aug. 23, 2044.6

Not life altering but fairly cool.

Everybody celebrating the DJT plummet while I’m sitting here wondering how many rat holes for Trump bought in on the pump and are the sellers who started the dump.

We had angel H. at our semi final game today. He cost us chance to play for championship. This is how he was set up most of the game. Bases loaded no outs top of last inning. Lilshep just drove in 2 to give us the lead. He rung our kid on pitch that was in other batters box for 2nd out. Then rung up next kid on pitch that crossed at logo on batting helmet. Bottom of last inning they got 2 on with 1 out. Thier coach yelled at our pitcher causing a balk. We lost but it sucked for our kids cause they know they got screwed
Umps not setting up correctly drives me nuts. It will not improve through HS though.- 1

Daddy broke up this nonsense

In most correct order. Balk/illegal pitch (didn't come set after stepping off, not sure if runners on or not)......................regular ball......................................................................................................................................................................................................................strike
So of course the strike is what Angel went with.

Though frankly whoever all the field umpires watching that didn't exactly cover themselves in glory either.

Right, neither he nor Purdue would be here if that wasn't the case
