A total eclipse provides an opportunity for entire communities to simultaneously experience a moving and educational natural phenomenon, one that reminds us of the reality of our place in nature. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cover parts of Texas and Arkansas, passing directly over Texarkana, USA, on the way through the country. You can be among the few people to experience the total eclipse in TWO states simultaneously.
Many people have experienced a partial solar eclipse, but total eclipses are rare and an entirely different experience. In the last hundred years, only three or four total eclipses have crossed over large parts of the United States. The greatest of these was the so-called “Great American Eclipse” of 2017, which traversed the whole country from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast.
