I think it is the rarity of it, along with the fact that we absolutely know its coming and exactly at what moment in time (unlike an earthquake or tornado or volcano) and nothing can be done to stop it, or delay it or change the date. People have lined up for 160 years and waited every hour for Old Faithful to erupt. I would think the hype would be easily understood.

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
Plus people fail to realize how rare it is in the Universe to have a planet with a single moon (more than one would screw up the orbits) at the exact distance away to create a total solar eclipse. Go back several million years (a fraction of a second compared to Earth's 4.5 Billion years) and it's too close. Go forward several million years and it will be too far away. Goldilocks if you will like our distance from the Sun.Animal wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 7:09 pmI think it is the rarity of it, along with the fact that we absolutely know its coming and exactly at what moment in time (unlike an earthquake or tornado or volcano) and nothing can be done to stop it, or delay it or change the date.

Re: Direct bullseye in a month
Don't despair though. There will be a Total Lunar Eclipse visible in Texas on March 3, 2026. It will be visible in every city in Texas (I think) and it will last over 3 hours (Totality last about 1 hour). The moon doesn't go completely dark when the earth blocks the sun's light. It will become sort of a red color. I think they call it a blood moon.

the next one visible from the united states is in 2044. and i will be honest, i don't think it would have been worth it unless you were within that lane of totality. and even that probably wasn't worth much unless you had it for a minute or so. which starts to narrow down the area pretty small.

Agree. With 100's of Billion of Stars and what? Trillion planets just in the Milky Way Galaxy, rare is a relative term.
