Amazing April Total Solar Eclipse Simulation

Post by Sureshks »

Hi all,

Check out this amazing simulation of the solar eclipse path. What I found most interesting was the speed of the shadow and its width. For example, in Texas it will be moving at more than 1,700 mph and will be around 120 miles wide. It gets faster but narrower as it moves further north.

I hope this link works for everyone...
