From what I’ve read, there quite a few solar eclipses in the world every few years, so why is this one in particular so scientifically interesting?

A total solar eclipse won’t be visible in the continental US again until the 2040’s. And make no mistake, you want to be in the path of totality. People who think well, it’ll be 80% or 90% or even freaking 99% here – that is not the same as totality!
