Did you know there was an event this April in the U.S. that only happens every 100 years or so here?  Millennials may have a few things going against them, but one thing we do have in our favor is total solar eclipses viewable in the U.S.   Kara went to both and is in the #twiceinalifetime club.   In this episode we give an overview of the science, history, and watching experience of total solar eclipses.
