In the coming weeks, North America will be in awe as a total solar eclipse passes through the United States and Canada. Millions of people will gather in zones of totality, such as Fredericksburg in central Texas, where a total eclipse will occur shortly after 1:30 p.m. Michael Zeiler, an experienced eclipse chaser who has witnessed 11 total eclipses around the world, plans to be there. He believes that first-time viewers of a total eclipse will be amazed by the experience, calling it the pinnacle of a lifetime experience.
This upcoming eclipse is expected to last up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds, longer than the eclipse that occurred in 2017, which lasted up to 2 minutes and 42 seconds. According to NASA, total eclipses can vary in duration from 10 seconds to about 7 minutes. Cities in the path of totality include Mazatlan in Mexico, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas in Texas, Indianapolis in Indiana, Cleveland in Ohio, Erie in Pennsylvania
