, wait until your eyes get a look at what’s coming in 2024.
In State College, the moon will block 95% of the sun. In Pittsburgh, the phenomenon will reach the high nineties.And in Erie, shortly after 3 p.m., viewers will get the full celestial show — provided that clouds do not interfere. Total blockage of the sun. Yet even that remaining one-tenth sliver of the sun will be quite bright — striking the Earth’s surface with the same level of radiant energy as it does on a very cloudy day, Pitts said.
Pitts advised purchasing protective glasses well in advance of April 2024, before any supply-chain issues or inflated prices.The other forthcoming eclipseA different type of solar eclipse is on the horizon even sooner, on Oct. 14, called an annular eclipse.. But because the moon will be at its farthest point from Earth, it appears smaller than the sun and will not completely block it. The effect is of a black dot surrounded by a golden annular ring.
