I saw a solar eclipse when I was 8. Have you seen one?
I saw the Great American Eclipse on August 21, 2017. That one was a total solar eclipse.
Oh I remember that! My parents drove to another state to see it. Why did they call it the Great American Eclipse?
only at the eastern extremity, the Chukchi Peninsula.
Prior to this event, no solar eclipse had been visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8, 1918; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States. The path of totality touched 14 states, and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse. The area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States, with most of this area over the ocean
