Where will you be on April 8th?

Many cities across the US are lucky enough to be in the path of totality on 4/8/24.

Totality, or a total solar eclipse, is a rare celestial event when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, momentarily blocking out the Sun’s light. This alignment leads to a dramatic darkening of the sky and unveils the Sun’s outer atmosphere, known as the solar corona. Total solar eclipses are unique opportunities for scientific research, enabling astronomers to study the solar corona and test theories like general relativity. These events have historical and cultural significance, often inspiring awe and wonder throughout history.
