Abstract
Eclipse chasers say that there are two aspects to a total eclipse. Firstly, there is the science of the total eclipse—the celestial mechanics. It is fascinating when you think about the apparent coincidence in scale and the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun that allows this natural event to be experienced. This alignment and perfect symmetry gives people an intellectual buzz. It’s spellbinding and mesmerising.
