"Total Solar Eclipse: All or Nothing, Say Experts"

Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Avon Lake, Ohio, is situated in the center of the path of totality for the April 8 total solar eclipse, attracting "eclipse chasers" and visitors. Experts emphasize that being within the path of totality is crucial for witnessing a total eclipse, as even a 99.9% coverage still results in too much light. The path of totality in Ohio is approximately 115 miles wide, and being anywhere within it will allow for viewing the total eclipse, with the center offering the longest duration of darkness.
