How crazy is that!?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just for clarity: there are different types of eclipses. Annular eclipses (the typical &#8220;ring of fire&#8221; eclipses) happen every year, more or less. Partial eclipses are also rather relatively more common since the range is much wider for viewing. A total eclipse where the sun is 100% covered by the moon is much more rare.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/edu\/news\/2023\/9\/28\/the-science-of-solar-eclipses-and-how-to-watch-with-nasa\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71181\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=169,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=432,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=864,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=282,height=159,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 282w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1600,height=900,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/solareclipses_main.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Source: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/edu\/news\/2023\/9\/28\/the-science-of-solar-eclipses-and-how-to-watch-with-nasa\/\">NASA<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the only eclipse where you can look with your bare eyes and see the sun&#8217;s corona which is never visible any other time on Earth except during a 100% total eclipse!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71189\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=169,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=432,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=864,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=282,height=159,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 282w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2000,height=1125,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ELCIPSE-4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Me, my dad, and my mom observing the sun&#8217;s corona on April 8, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep the blog post short since I think most of the experience is best told through my vlog! \ud83d\udcf9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I&#8217;ll share a little more information along with some additional photos I took of the partial eclipse leading up to totality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To time totality, I used the Solar Eclipse Timer app which uses your GPS coordinates to give you precise times and alerts during a solar eclipse!
