The guide explains how eclipses occur, the differences between total, annular, and partial eclipses, how ancient civilizations reacted to these strange events, and how and where to view eclipses safely. Even for North Americans not within the Paths of Annularity and Totality, these two events will be observed as at least a partial eclipse throughout the United States and Canada, and the book comes with two safety-tested Eclipse Viewing Glasses.
Although total eclipses occur somewhere on Earth around once every 18 months, these two, on October 14th, 2023, and April 8, 2024, be the last such events visible in North America until the mid-2040s. . . so don't miss this opportunity.
