We are just hours away from a true wonder of the universe! Big Ideas Learning is in one of the few areas of the country to experience the solar eclipse in its path of totality! What exactly is the path of totality?

The path of totality is the narrow track on the Earth's surface where a total solar eclipse can be observed, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the moment when the moon completely obscures the sun.

Predicting this astronomical mathematical coincidence requires precise models that consider the motions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, as well as factors like the tilt of the Earth's axis and the eccentricity of the Moon's orbit.
