We’ve been looking forward to it for weeks, The Great American Eclipse, or a total solar eclipse. In this natural phenomenon, the sun, seen from Earth, is 100 percent covered by the moon and it becomes completely dark for a few seconds. A total solar eclipse is very rare. According to scientists, this happens a few times a year, but almost never in an easily accessible place.
Take your chance!
What makes this total solar eclipse so special is that it can be seen from several inhabited cities. This allows millions of spectators to see the natural phenomenon with their own eyes. Well, with special glasses, because the solar eclipse can be dazzling. Many people seize their chance and plan weddings en masse to get married under the unique solar eclipse. Hotels are also fully booked to ensure a spot, because they may only experience such a special experience once in their lives.
2135
Anyone who wants to see a total solar eclipse in the Netherlands will unfortunately be disappointed. The next one won’t come until the year 2135 and hardly any of us will live to see that.
