        Failing NY Times downplayed importance of 1970 eclipse. Sad!

        We can believe that science accurately determined the exact date of the 2017 eclipse in 1932, but the climate change thing; not so much?

        That there was only 38 years between 1932 and 1970 is obvious but that line gave me new perspective for some reason.

        Well I live in Fort Lauderdale Florida and I didn't get TLC. I guess they were off on their prediction but this is interesting to read.
