Dude, where’s the sun? Experiencing Pennsylvania’s total solar eclipse
On April 8, 2024 Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to see something special. Something that’s not been seen in our commonwealth since January 1925. – nearly 100 years ago. From about 3:15 to 3:20 the moon will pass between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun’s light.
A total solar eclipse. This eclipse will cross 15 states in North America – including Pennsylvania - from the Southwest to the Northeast. While this awe-inspiring event will be visible in much of Pennsylvania, the most spectacular view will be in the eclipse’s path of totality.
The path is the track of the moon’s shadow across the Earth’s surface. In the eclipse’s path of totality, visitors will see the sun totally eclipsed by the moon. This path will cross a portion of northwest Pennsylvania, including Erie, Crawford, Warren, and Mercer counties.
For Pennsylvanians who find themselves outside of the path of totality, they will see a partial solar eclipse. Similar to what Pennsylvanians saw during the 2017 eclipse.
On this episode, I speak with Susan Schenck to the podcast. Susan is the Environments Education Specialist at Cherry Springs State Park.
