If you think that's a tiger, you're just plain stupid.Your words are the hoax like the eye of your tiger. :laughing6:
Sun, moon, Earth to line up for total solar eclipse

Way smarter than you are though, but that's not hard.
You need to demonstrate the truth of that claim if you want to be taken seriously. Saying it over and over again doesn't make it any more likely to be true. That's all you ever do, make that claim repeatedly without making any argument in support of it, it's just self evident to you because you don't know how to think critically.
Your words are the hoax like the eye of your tiger. :laughing6:
It's a leopard, Dingleberry.
No, it's a spotted tiger. A miracle, no doubt performed by Allah. Kind of a holy card trick.
Rapper Joey Bada$$ cancels Toronto show after staring at solar eclipse

Hip-hop star Joey Bada$$ has scrapped his final three appearances on fellow rapper Logic’s North American tour.
The New York native took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal he would no longer be performing as the opening act for the Everybody Tour, which touched down in Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday and wraps in Toronto on Saturday.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, my Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the #EverybodyTour are cancelled,” he posted.
Joey did not specify the reason for his cancellation, but the news emerged a day after the MC tweeted about staring at Monday’s solar eclipse without the proper eyewear.
“Am I crazy for watching the eclipse today w (with) no glasses?,” he asked fans. “I’ve sungazed before and afterwards saw colors for a whole day. I didn’t die tho...This ain’t the first solar eclipse and I’m pretty sure our ancestors ain’t have no fancy eyewear. Also pretty sure they ain’t all go blind (sic).”
It’s not clear if the rapper did actually look directly at the sun during the eclipse, as he later shared a picture of himself wearing protective glasses on Instagram.

Really?? They are good at camouflage, could be hiding a scope. Numb nuts is from being overworked, yes??
Praising one's self !?
Anyhow, it is you who say the assertions with a voice louder than the truth.
I say plainly the marvels of the universe indicate the wisdom and might of God, and nothing the atheist adds more than his claims and only the denial of this truth, like one denying the light of the sun in the midday.
I see you unlucky in fact, for insisting on your words, and you will lose in the end (if you keep to this way.)
So for curtailing such vicious circle of your claims, I say:
Either I (and believers) or you (with disbelievers) are correct or in extreme error.. God knows and will settle the truth sooner or later, and you are unlucky (if you keep to your blasphemy)
Truly, I respect the science loving of Dexter Sinister, but I don't agree with his inclination to the side of the atheism or denial of the Creator.
So while I see his language good, but on the other hand he speaks in a way of loftiness.
Moreover, I wish for him and everyone else, the prosperity and health and before anything else the guidance which will prove very advantageous and essential for everyone.
And I find this aya in the Quran 4: 38-39, which mean:
{38. As for those who expend out of their wealth [only to show off] before the eyes of people, but believe not in God and the Last Day;
If one's [persisting] companion is the devil, that is the worst [persisting] companion.
39. What [harm] would it do them if they believed in God and the Last Day, and expended [in alms for the sake of God] of what God has provided them with?
But God is Well-Acquainted of them.}

Comment:
In these two ayat, God explained that the expenditure in God's way for God's sake not for sake of others and not to show to others is a very good act which leads to the guidance, while on the other hand the misery and closed hand is bad and will lead to God's misguidance of the miser or the nig gardly man; God also explained that the devil with his suggestions is the reason for such miserliness and nig gardliness and closed hand .. moreover, the devil will in the Afterlife be a persisting companion of the disbeliever and the miser who does not expend of his money for the poor and needy for God's sake.
Another point in this great aya: it enjoins on man to believe and expend in God's way, and what will he lose if he believes in God and expends out of his money for the poor and needy? On the contrary, if he believes he will prosper and be successful in this life of the World and in the Next Life.

Solar eclipse burned a crescent wound on a woman's retina -- She wasn't wearing proper glasses.

Like so many others, 26-year-old Nia Payne wanted to view of August’s historic solar eclipse but didn’t have a pair of protective glasses. She walked outside on Staten Island and glanced at the sun – 70 percent was covered – for about six seconds before deciding she needed eye protection.
She borrowed a pair of what looked like eclipse glasses from someone nearby, then looked directly at the sun for 15 to 20 seconds.
They weren’t the right glasses.
For two days after, Payne saw a black spot, shaped like a crescent similar to the eclipse itself, in the center of her vision. Finally, she went to the emergency room and was referred to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, where doctors performed a detailed scan of her retinas.

What they found astonished them and led to a study they published Thursday in JAMA Ophthalmology.
The black spot in her vision and the corresponding damage on her retina were mirror images of the eclipse itself. It proved that scientists’ “intuitions were correct” in their theories of how the sun damages the eye, Avnish Deobhakta, assistant professor of ophthalmology at Mount Sinai and co-author of the study, told The Washington Post in a phone interview.
Doctors have long known of solar retinopathy, which is a “rare form of retinal injury that results from direct sungazing,” the study noted. It occurs when the sun’s energy essentially burns the retina. It can happen even when the sun is obscured by the moon during a solar eclipse, because many of sun’s rays still reach the Earth.
The Mount Sinai doctors quickly diagnosed Payne with this injury, which was much worse in her left eye.
They asked her to draw the black spot she saw on a piece of paper. It was a crescent that looked a lot like the eclipse itself.
The doctors decided to take a closer look.
Mount Sinai has a precise imaging machine that uses adaptive optics, which can examine individual cells of the retina.
The machine only recently became an ophthalmology tool. According to Deobhakta, no previously published research showed what it found in patients whose eyes were damaged by a solar eclipse.
The researchers looked closely at the photoreceptor layer of the retina, which is the part that “takes in the sun’s light and converts it to electrical energy so our brains can make sense of light,” Deobhakta said.
The sun had burned a crescent onto her retina, just as in the image she drew.
“What we found is that the sun’s rays had damaged the photoreceptor layer in a very specific pattern, like a crescent,” Deobhakta said. “It really aligned with what she drew for us when we first saw her.”
He said the finding is significant because it might be the first step to discovering a treatment for this sort of injury – which isn’t all that uncommon. While most people instinctively turn away from the sun and solar eclipses are extremely rare, the kind of laser pointers that kids and pet owners often play with can cause similar injuries.
As of now, this sort of damage is irreversible, something Payne knows all too well.
She’s currently training herself to mainly focus with her right eye. She has to sit close to the television to watch it and reading remains a challenge.
The black crescent never disappears. And there’s an embarrassment accompanying it.
“So far, it’s a nightmare, and sometimes it makes me very sad when I close my eyes and see it,” Payne told CNN. “It’s embarrassing. People will assume I was just one of those people who stared blankly at the sun or didn’t check the person with the glasses.”
“It’s something I have to live with for the rest of my life,” she added.
This study might be the first step to ensuring she doesn’t.
“There is no treatment on the horizon, but the horizon is only seen when you’re able to see it, and I think that’s what this imaging helps us to do,” Deobhakta told CNN.
