Total solar eclipses happen every one to three years, but the events are usually only visible from Earth's poles or from the middle of the ocean. While the 2024 eclipse won't be visible from coast-to-coast, the path of totality does go across more than a dozen states, including Texas...
根据上文“What will happen if you look at a solar eclipse (日食)?(如果你看日食会发生什么)”以及后文“even looking at any part of the sun’s rays through ordinary equipment, like regular sunglasses, can result in serious eye damage(即使是通过普通的设备,比如普通的太阳镜,看太阳光线的任何部分...
states under the moon's shadow in the first coast-to-coast totality for 99 years. On that day, the shadow moved from Oregon across the U.S. to South Carolina, from roughly northwest to southeast. It's about to happen again, with the total solar eclipse on April 8 again beginning in...

But that epoch will also introduce gravitational instabilities, which could cause our Moon to be ejected from the solar system altogether. Once free, it will wander the depths of interstellar space for eons to come. So go out today and look for the moon. It may be far away already, but ...
NASA investigated what would happen if a volcano had a super-eruption. They concluded Earth would experience limited cooling, but not be plunged into a cataclysmic volcanic winter.
