My first full solar eclipse was in August 2017. We piled a bunch of people in a van and drove 4 hours to see the eclipse. I thought it would be cool, but it I didn’t realize it was going to be so awesome. Seriously, if you have a chance to catch a total solar eclipse you should do it. Here’s some good information for the 2024 eclipse (in the USA).
