Important Takeaways:

  • #1 It is a total solar eclipse that will occur on April 8th, 2024.
  • #2 The path of the eclipse will travel through portions of the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
  • #3 The path of the eclipse will also travel through parts of Mexico and Canada.
  • #4 It is being projected that this eclipse will be the most viewed astronomical event in the entire history of our country.
  • #5 According to the Washington Post, more than 30 million Americans will simply be able to walk outside of their homes and experience this eclipse…
  • #6 We are being told that this eclipse may be “the single-biggest mass travel event” of 2024…
  • #7 Those that are in the direct path of the eclipse will discover that the air temperature suddenly becomes approximately 10 degrees cooler once the moon is fully blocking the sun.
  • #8 The path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024 will cross the United States on the very first day of the year on the Hebrew calendar.
  • #9 If you put the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2024, the path of the “Ring of Fire” solar eclipse of October 14th, 2023 and the path of the Great American Eclipse of 2017 all on a map, they combine to form a giant paleo-Hebrew “Aleph” over America
