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?
In: Planetary Science
It’s not really any more interesting than any other solar eclipse. There may perhaps be a bit more interest because the sun is in a bit more of an active phase now, but even with that, it’s just another eclipse. But, that said, solar eclipses are truly amazing to witness. And, it’s passing over large population centers of the United States, so, while it is not really different compared to any other eclipse, it is somewhat unique in that observing it will be so readily accessible for many Americans.
