Questão 56 - UNIFOR Demais Cursos 2024/1

A trail of darkness swept across the Western Hemisphere on Saturday, starting at the Oregon coast and then venturing to the Southwest region as it cut through Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas and other states. It was an annular solar eclipse that millions of people across the United States and Latin American countries experienced as a ring of fire in their local skies.

The path of annularity, or the path where the moon was most centered over the sun, was about 130 miles wide. People traveled from great distances to reach this shadowy strip, soaking up the four to five minutes of the darkest phase for those who got closer to its center.

“You see a picture, and it just doesn’t do it justice,” said Matthew Neal, who drove to Richfield, Utah, from San Diego with his wife, Jennifer Neal, to chase the eclipse.

Millions more people experienced a partial solar eclipse, with considerable dimming of the sun occurring in major cities like Seattle, Los Angeles, Houston, Mexico City and Bogotá, even though they were far outside the path of annularity in some cases.
