2024 Solar Eclipse

A total solar eclipse will occur in Erie, PA on April 8th 2024 at 3:16PM, and Erie will not bear witness to another until 2099. On April 8ththe people of Erie and the surrounding area will see the sun disappear and leave a ghostly glow in the daytime sky that will last for 3 min 42s. This is the moment when the moon completely covers the disc of the sun and is called the em>Totality.

The ‘Line of Totality’ is the area over which the total eclipse can be viewed. This line is very narrow and those wishing to see the eclipse will have to travel to locations along this thin line on the Earth's Globe. The city of Erie (and consequently 成人抖音破解版) are in the path of this line. Erie is the largest city in PA to bear witness to the total eclipse.
