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
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!
Because now that the avatar has returned, we have hope. During the eclipse, we’ll invade the fire kingdom, and the avatar will defeat the fire lord.
Drove from Atlanta to somewhere near Clemson, SC for the 2017 eclipse. 2 hours there, 5 back.
This year I’m gonna be otherwise occupied.
Firstborn and all…
Eclipses are talked about in the regions where they will be visible. There are solar eclipses that get talked about just as much but you probably don’t hear about them because they aren’t visible anywhere around you.
Because it’s going through a decent part of the US, and some populate areas at that. No different than an eclipse that would be over the ocean, other than a lot more people will be able to see it.
