Searching for "solar eclipse" on Google turns up a surprising treat! An animation plays out, mimicking the sun being gradually covered by the moon, just like during a real eclipse. This interactive element adds a fun layer to your search and helps you visualize the phenomenon.
The animation is quite accurate, giving you a preview of what to expect on eclipse day. Speaking of which, I'm hoping to catch a nearly complete view (around 93% totality) from where I am. Here's some background info: according to Wikipedia, a total solar eclipse is happening on April 8th, 2024, coinciding with the Moon's ascending node. This "Great North American Eclipse," as some call it, will be visible across North America. As a refresher, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching certain parts of Earth.
