This Monday, April 8, a total eclipse of the sun will be observable in America. Millions of residents will be able to observe this rare phenomenon.
A heavenly meeting. Tens of millions of Mexicans, Americans and Canadians have their eyes glued to the sky to watch the solar eclipse. To see this phenomenon, you must wear protective glasses. “People say that when you’re in the twilight of the eclipse it’s something you never forget. I want to live”explains a tourist. “It’s probably something I’ll only see once in my life.”says a passerby.
Special flights
The hopes of contemplating, as in 2017, the circle of fire characteristic of an eclipse are high. This time, it will be visible over a 180 km wide strip from Mexico to Canada. NASA did not skimp on Hollywood trailers to attract the population. Special flights were even chartered to view the eclipse above the clouds with specially trained pilots.
