How much it costs to chase the 2024 total solar eclipse

BBC  

How much it costs to chase the 2024 total solar eclipse A total solar eclipse will cross North America in early April, and travellers are paying big money to experience the path of totality. On 8 April 2024, a sliver of the globe will go dark for roughly four minutes as a total solar eclipse – an astronomical event in which the Sun, Moon and Earth are perfectly aligned – completely blocks the sun's rays in the "path of totality". Myers was inspired to chase the eclipse after experiencing what she calls a "distinct sense of FOMO" – that's 'fear of missing out' – after the 2017 eclipse, which was also visible in North America. "People who've witnessed a total solar eclipse sometimes describe it as a spiritual or holy experience," Leonard wrote in an email to the BBC.
