A total solar eclipse is one of the most unforgettable and awe-inspiring natural events we can experience. On April 8, 2024, people in southeast Michigan will have our last opportunity for decades to witness a total eclipse less than a few hours' drive away. I'll describe the science behind eclipses, the role they have played in history, and how and where to best experience this year's eclipse.
