Total Solar Eclipse 2024: Why this rare event will not repeat for 126 years

India Today  

The Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 is set to offer a rare astronomical phenomenon that won't happen again for another 126 years. While solar eclipses occur about every 18 months somewhere on Earth, the path of totality is relatively narrow, and any given location will only experience a total eclipse every few hundred years on average. Totality refers to the brief period during a solar eclipse when the moon completely covers the disk of the sun, leaving only the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona, visible. This extraordinary event also offers a unique opportunity for scientific research and public engagement, with educational initiatives aimed at explaining the science behind eclipses and encouraging safe viewing practices.
