29. Station 4 Paragraph
With parties in campsites, small towns, rooftops and beaches along the 4200km path of totality*, the United States was briefly a nation of amateur* astronomers as they peered skyward in protective glasses to watch the moon black out the Sun. The last coast-to-coast eclipse was in 1918, long before the advent* of smartphones meant yesterday’s 91 minute solar show became the most photographed and documented event in human history. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun’s rays and plunging* part of the world into darkness during the day. An eclipse of this magnitude* provides scientists with a unique ability to study the Earth, Sun, Moon and other stars and planets.
