 Watching a total eclipse of the Sun is an unforgettable experience. As we reviewed in the preceding section, these are relatively common phenomena in the world. However, they can’t always be seen from any city since, sometimes, they happen in the poles or the middle of the ocean. That’s why when it is visible on solid ground, thousands of people travel to watch them.


 * The eclipses on April, 20th of 2023 and November, 14th of 2031 are hybrid, which means that from some places will be a total eclipse, while in others annular.
