According to celestial mechanics, a total solar eclipse should occur in a particular location on Earth’s surface only once every 375 years on average.
That number will surely make the 30,000 people of the Midwestern city laugh, since they will soon see the Moon obscure the Sun’s disc for the second time in the last seven years.
Furthermore, the eclipse on April 8 will be much more spectacular than the one they witnessed in 2017. For four minutes and nine seconds, the sky will be completely dark, almost twice as long as it did the last time.
The route of “totality” or the darkest darkness in 2017 stretched from South Carolina in the southeast to Oregon in the northwest of the United States. That did, in fact, encompass a number of heavily populated areas, including numerous national parks.
On the other hand, some significant US cities, including Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo, will be included in the 2024 event.
According to Dr. Kelly Korreck, manager of the US space agency’s eclipse program, “this is going to be the most populated eclipse in the US, with 31.5 million people able to just walk outside of their homes to experience it,” News said.
