"Exploring the Decline of Total Solar Eclipse Phenomena"

A video by MinutePhysics, featured on Aeon Videos, explains that the golden age of total solar eclipses, a period when these events were more common and visually stunning, is already behind us. Due to slow changes in Earth's orbit and the moon's distance from us, total solar eclipses are becoming rarer and less spectacular over time. The animation delves into the reasons behind this decline, highlighting that we are living towards the end of an era where total solar eclipses are observable.
