-- Pada Rabu, 8 April 2024 waktu Amerika Serikat, gerhana matahari total menimbulkan bayangan besar di Amerika Utara. Gerhana yang baru terjadi empat jam lalu tersebut memotong jalur kegelapan mendadak selebar 115 mil (185 kilometer) dan sepanjang 10.000 mil (16.000 km) di benua tersebut.
Dimulai di Meksiko, gerhana melintasi 15 negara bagian AS dan terlihat oleh 44 juta orang. Kita di Indonesia tidak dapat melihat gerhana total tersebut karena saat itu terjadi, kita berada pada tengah malam, saat pergantian hari Rabu ke Kamis. Namun, 11 foto menakjubkan Gerhana Matahari Total 8 April 2024 bisa dilihat di sini:
1. Mazatlan
The first totality began in Mazatlan, Mexico, where observers saw the moon pass in front of the sun's disk. Just before totality, viewers are treated to a thin, diamond-like ring of sunlight sparkling through valleys on the moon's outer surface.
After the moon covers the entire surface of the sun, all that is visible is a thin purple blob in the corona due to solar eruptions.
Totalitas pertama dimulai di Mazatlan, Meksiko, di mana orang yang melihatnya melihat bulan lewat di depan piringan matahari. Tepat sebelum totalitas, penonton disuguhi cincin tipis sinar matahari seperti berlian yang berkilauan melalui lembah di permukaan luar bulan.
Setelah bulan menutupi seluruh permukaan matahari, yang terlihat hanyalah gumpalan tipis berwarna ungu di korona akibat letusan matahari.
2. Fort Worth
