Why The April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Is EXTREMELY Terrifying!

A never-before-seen total solar eclipse is about to occur across North America. On April 8, millions of people in northern Mexico, the United States, and southeast Canada will be able to witness totality, or daytime darkness, and the opportunity to glimpse the sun's corona with the unaided eye. However, according to experts, solar eclipses used to be extremely catastrophic events. How and why? Let’s all find out in today’s episode!

The heavens are full of amazing phenomena, but one on April 8 is making people book vacations in large numbers, raising concerns about congested roads and making headline after headline.

The rare occurrence, a total solar eclipse on April 8 that will see the moon's shadow cast a thin strip of land into darkness in the middle of the day, is unprecedented in astronomy and will be exceptionally accessible to millions of people. This is why it is creating such a stir.

Before we delve into the details of why it is regarded as a terrifying event, let’s look first at why it might also be the best for hundreds of years.

1. It will be the longest total solar eclipse to occur in the US since 1806.
Witness this total solar eclipse from Mexico; the total eclipse could last for 4 minutes and 28 seconds. That will decrease as the moon's heavy center shadow accelerates and stretches as it moves from southwest to northeast, although 4 minutes and 26 seconds is feasible along the US-Mexico border.

The previous total solar eclipse of this length to occur in North America took place on June 16, 1806, when it swept across Albuquerque, Kansas City, Cleveland, and Boston on its way from Baja California to Cape Cod. The eclipse lasted up to 4 minutes and 55 seconds. The novel Darkness At Noon helped to promote it to Bostonians. The event is also known as Tecumseh's Eclipse. Two Shawnee chiefs foresaw the eclipse and observed it from Greenville, Ohio, which will experience totality on April 8 for three minutes and fifty-five seconds, according to eclipse chaser Bill Kramer. Since 1806, Ohio has not had a total solar eclipse.

2. It will take place during solar maximum.
Anyone who has ever witnessed the solar corona at totality with their unaided eyes knows that it is always an absolutely breathtaking sight. Our star appears uneven and prickly during solar minimum, the period of time when its magnetic activity is at its lowest in an approximately 11-year cycle. This was the case on August 21, 2017, the day of the most recent total solar eclipse to occur in North America. On April 8, however, that won't be the case as the sun's corona appears wider, more symmetrical, and like a sunflower. It is a result of the sun's magnetic activity, and solar maximum is expected to occur sometime this year.

The last time a total solar eclipse that could be seen from North America coincided with solar maximum was on February 26, 1979. During that eclipse, which passed through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec, Canada, as well as Greenland, totality lasted up to two minutes and 49 seconds.
