  1. The most interesting part about this eclipse to me is the fact that it's happening so close to us. The next total solar eclipse that will happen in the U.S. will be in 2024. Many cultures thought it was a sign from their Sun God.

  2. I think the most interesting part of this all is the fact that the sun will still have a lining around the earth even though it is covered. It is important not to observe the eclipse without special glasses provided by NASA.

  3. The most interesting part about the solar eclipse is that it happens during the DAYLIGHT. We can actually see it way better during the day, we get to acknowledge every aspect of the soon and moon. You also get to take your special solar eclipse glasses off when the the moon completely covers the soon 100%. During a total solar eclipse, the moon and the sun both appear to be about the same size from the ground. According to NASA, this is a "celestial coincidence," as the sun is about 400 times wider than the moon and about 400 times farther away.

  4. To me, the most interesting part of the solar eclipse is that it doesn't happen often. Everyone in the continental U.S. will see at least a partial eclipse. Also, this eclipse is 1st Total Solar Eclipse in 38 Years.

  5. An eclipse can be partial or total depending on the how the celestial bodies align.An eclipse is total when the moon completely covers the sun and cast shadows onto the earth.

    According to NASA, this is a "celestial coincidence," as the sun is about 400 times wider than the moon and about 400 times farther away. From certain vantage points on Earth, the moon will completely block the sun. This is called totality.

  6. The moon has to be between the sun and the earth solar eclipse to occur the only lunar when that happens is new moon everyone in the continental us will see at least a partial eclipse in fact if you have clear skies on eclipse day the moon will cover at least 48% of the sun

  7. The most important part for me is the fact that the sun will still have a coating around the earth, even though it is covered. It is important to observe the eclipse with special glasses since it can cause permanent blindness and the next eclipse will be in the 2024

  8. What I find interesting about the Solar Eclipse is that the sun is the earth's life force, but during the eclipse when the sun is covered the earth is still able to function.

    This is the first eclipse 38 years, being the last one took place back in 1979.

    The sun is about 400 times wider than the moon.

  9. I personally think the most interesting thing is that it really is considered a once in a lifetime event since an eclipse like this only come every 100 years give or take. Another interesting fact is that once the moon covers the sun you can only see the outer edge of the sun making the eclipse look beautiful. Also solar eclipses have been known to even end huge battles.

  10. What I find most interesting about the Solar Eclipse is that it is going to be pitch black once the sun and the moon align. This will be the last solar eclipse until April 4, 2024. The next eclipse won't stretch the width of the country but move from Mexico to Maine and then traverse New Brunswick and Newfoundland.

  11. The most interesting part about the solar eclipse is how the moon covers up the sun for a certain period of time.

  13. The most interesting part of the eclipse was the sight of the moon in front of the sun at 100%. This the first coast to coast eclipse in 99 years and the next eclipse for America is in 2024.

  15. I found it interesting because it just look beautiful.

  16. In my opinion the most interesting and beautiful part is when the moon fully passes over the sun. A long time ago many cultures thought it was a sign from their sun god. Also if you try to keep up with the eclipse you cant unless you are flying in a private jet going faster than the speed of sound.

  17. It wasn't like I expected it to be. The solar eclipse can damage your eyes. And if you have the glasses don't just stare at the sun the whole time you have to take brakes.

  18. The most interesting part about the solar eclipse was when i hard the glasses to look at it and realizing the moon is in front of the sun.

  19. Millions are forecast to flock to the very narrow 70 miles wide swath that hugs the country like a belt.
    This will be like Woodstock 200 times over but across the whole country, said Alex Young, solar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
    The Federal Highway Administration is calling this a "planned special event for which there has been no recent precedent in the United States.The moon, which many of us often take for granted, will quite literally have its day in the spotlight.
    In this celestial dance, the moon moves perfectly in between the Earth and the sun. During a total solar eclipse, the moon and the sun both appear to be about the same size from the ground.

  20. The most interesting part about the solar eclipse is when the moon and the sun meet in the sky where everybody can see it. 1.A total solar eclipse can happen once every 1-2 years. This makes them very rare events. 2.If any planets are in the sky at the time of a total solar eclipse, they can be seen as points of light.

  21. The most interesting part about the eclipse is that it is possible at all. A solar eclipse happens every 18 months and hasn't happen in America coast to coast in almost 100 years.

  30. What is very interesting that the eclipse got a lot of hype. The media, news, and social sites kept hyping up the eclipse and when it came down to the day, the eclipse wasn't even all that. It was just another ordinary day with me being scared to look a the sun. People looked at the sun and nothing happened to them! It is a very interesting that it doesn't happy everyday. It happens within long time period ranges.

  31. The most best thing about eclipse is that the moon passes over the sun and it turns dark but yesterday it didn't really get dark but you go blind without special glasses

  32. In my opinion, the most interesting part about an eclipse is when it reaches totality and it becomes completely dark. Two facts about the eclipse is never look at the sun with naked eyes and never look at it through binoculars or a telescope unless equipped with a solar filter.

  33. The most interesting part of the solar eclipse was the fact that it was happening during my life time. Because the Moon is slowly drifting away from Earth, in about a million years a solar eclipse will not even be noticeable.On average, there are no less than 2 and no more than 5 solar eclipses per year.

  34. The coolest part about the solar eclipse is seeing all of the peoples reactions on tv and seeing the moon cover the sun.
    The next solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024. The last total solar eclipse that was in the United States of America was 38 years ago.

  38. The eclipse was the first total solar eclipse in the continental U.S in 38 years.

  43. The most interesting thing about the eclipse is that the whole sky goes pitch black, in certain areas once the moon blocks out the sun. The solar eclipse is a accident in nature. You can only see a full solar eclipse if you are at the path or direction of it.
