Part of the American continent has already begun to witness something of today’s solar eclipse. The best view of this natural phenomenon is in America. And it can be understood that the city of Texas alone has received a million visitors for this special moment.
The last solar eclipse in America was in 2017, but today’s is a special one.
Solar eclipses happen quite frequently, usually two to four times a year, but only a 50-mile-wide area on Earth experiences the totality of the phenomenon.
An eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly in front of the sun, with the moon’s shadow covering the Earth’s surface.
In any location in the world, a total solar eclipse occurs only once every hundred years or so.
For example, Hawaii has had two solar eclipses in the last 300 years, one in 1850 and another in 1991. The next solar eclipse will occur on May 3, 2106, at 5:49 in the morning.
The last solar eclipse occurred on July 11, 1991, directly over Big Island. “The next partial solar eclipse for Hawaii will be on October 2, 2024. The next total lunar eclipse for Hawaii will be on March 13, 2025 (Blood Moon),” Bradley, an expert, explained.
According to him, today’s solar eclipse “will be the most watched in history due to the number of large cities where it will be visible. Also, it is the last total solar eclipse around America for 20 years.”
