Totality insanity: Eclipse frenzy hits North America

Hindustan Times  

Eclipse mania is sweeping across North America as a breathtaking celestial event on Monday promises a rare blend of commerce, science and celebration. Festivals, viewing parties, and even a mass wedding are planned along the eclipse "path of totality," where the Moon will completely obscure the Sun's light for up to a few minutes if rain clouds don't play spoilsport, which could be the case in the southern and central US. And in Russellville, Arkansas, 300 couples are set to exchange vows at "A Total Eclipse of the Heart" mass wedding ceremony, with the "thin circle of light around the moon resembling a huge wedding ring in the sky!" Several airlines have advertised flights scheduled to pass under the eclipse, while Delta has even planned two special trips along the path of totality.
