Eclipse path

It’s no secret that eclipses are rare and awe-inspiring events. They occur when the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth. The moon blocks the sun's light, casting a shadow on the Earth. This can create a total eclipse, where the entire sun is covered, or a partial eclipse, where only a portion of the sun is covered.
I’ve been lucky enough to witness a few eclipses in my life, and each one has been a magical experience. There’s nothing quite like seeing the sun disappear in the middle of the day, or watching the moon’s shadow race across the landscape.
One of my most memorable eclipse experiences was in 2017. I was in Oregon to witness the total solar eclipse. It was an incredible sight to see the sun completely disappear, and the stars come out in the middle of the day. The temperature dropped, and the birds stopped singing. It was like being in another world.
I’ll never forget the feeling of awe and wonder that I felt that day. It was a reminder of how small we are in the universe, and how insignificant our problems can seem in the face of something so vast and powerful.
If you ever have the chance to witness an eclipse, I highly recommend it. It’s an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Here are some interesting facts about eclipses:

The word “eclipse” comes from the Greek word “ekleipsis,” which means “to abandon” or “to fail.”
Eclipses can only occur during a new moon or a full moon.
The path of a total solar eclipse is very narrow, and it can only be seen from a small area on the Earth.
The longest total solar eclipse on record lasted for 7 minutes and 31 seconds.
Eclipses have been used to predict the future and to mark important events throughout history.
