On Sunday April 08, 2024 at 1:45 PM the beautiful city of Idabel will be the place to be! Idabel is in the path of totality so for 4 minutes and 18.4 seconds it will look like night in the middle of the day. How cool is that?!
What is a solar eclipse?
-
A solar eclipse is a lineup of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth. The Moon which is directly between the Sun and Earth, casts a shadow on our planet.
-
The eclipsis is not seen from every place on Earth, but only from locations where the shadow falls. From these locations, it appears as if the Sun has gone dark.
-
As totality nears, you may notice a resemblance to the onset of night. The horizon will brighten, shadows will look different, breezes will disappear, birds will stop chirping, and the temperature may drop 10-15 degrees.
