An eclipse is when the sun gets covered by the moon in its orbit, there is usually one every 6 months or so but this year was a total eclipse. That means the sun is completely blocked out by the moon. The last total eclipse to cross over Pennsylvania was in 1806, in this eclipse much more of PA was in the path of totality while the one that just happened was more westwardly. In 1806 the Lewis and Clark expedition began its journey home, and Andrew Jackson killed Charles Dickens in a deadly duel. I think it would be an unforgettable experience for those who saw the 1806 total eclipse. There is an underground railroad event happening around the eclipse in western Pennsylvania, it lasts from April 6th to the 27th. In North America the Albuquerque international balloon fiesta, the indy 500, and the national cherry blossom festival. The April 8th eclipse made a surprising amount of people think that the world was going to end, many people across social media were terrified the world was going to end. A couple of events surrounding the eclipse are the Eclipsefest, the total solar eclipse weekend at vacationland, and solar eclipse at Buhl farm park. During the eclipse was in my backyard watching it.
