Former 10th group here. Hooah was strictly forbidden with us. You would probably get kicked out of the regiment if you said it unironically.

Well considering that 82nd jumps the T-11 parachute and not an MC-6 (as shown in the picture) I doubt this is them. But I do know 82nd 1/2

When you want up votes so bad you have to Photoshop a picture from a year ago and claim it was today

I've dropped the 82nd at Bragg a few times. That plane would never be in position for a shot like this. Nice ps though.

americas a big country parts of it would not get a toatal eclipse

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 11

Correct. It was only 75% for us in NJ.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

But this is an annular eclipse, where the moon is farther from the earth making it smaller, todays was a total where the moon is closer.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

oh shit yea perhaps its from some older partial eclipse

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

You're a pain in the annular.

9 years ago | Likes 80 Dislikes 11

Tineye found a matching photo as far back as October 29, 2016. Same annular eclipse, but without the 82nd Airborne Photoshop division.

Whether or not the eclipse is total is entirely a matter of perspective

9 years ago | Likes 36 Dislikes 29

If it matters you're totally right from my perspective.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 7

Eclipses generally are a matter of perspective if you think about it

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

Annular vs. Total doesn't depend on where you are, unless it's a hybrid eclipse and you move along the path of maximum eclipse.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Sure it is, but it just so happens that every humans perspective of this eclipse is from Earth, and therefore should be the same.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 4

Are you fucking retarded

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 4

Look up the difference between a total (todays) and an annular (captured in this picture) eclipse, before throwing around "fucking retard".

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

.........you do know there was only a narrow stretch across the continent where the sun was completely covered, right?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 5

Yes, I am aware of that. And do you think this picture could have been captured from outside that narrow stretch? Because it could not.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

Outside that strip is partial eclipse, not annular.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yes, I know that. I'm refuting the "every humans perspective of this eclipse is from Earth, and therefore should be the same." claim. >

Whoop de doo. Do you know what annular eclipses are?

9 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 7

Eclipses in your annual, duh. My gf loves annual.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I didn't. I looked it up and now I know more about eclipses. Thank you.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A matter of perspective. You are just further from the moon when it eclipses the sun.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 3

Really, downvotes? What the hell you think an annular eclipse is? The moon shrinking?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I don't, can you tell me? :-)

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

"An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the dark disk of the Moon." 2/2

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

I'm stationed on fort bragg and I can say the eclipse looked nothing like this today. It just got a bit dimmer outside.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

The paratroopers didn't really jump during the eclipse. He photoshopped photos he got from the internet. Read above link
