TL;DR Summary

A recent study by Time and Date delved into 15,000 years of eclipse data to determine which cities on Earth experience the most eclipses, revealing that a random city would experience a total solar eclipse once every 374 years, with high latitude locations experiencing them more frequently. The study also explained why Northern Hemisphere cities are more likely to experience total solar eclipses than those in the Southern Hemisphere. As the April 8 total solar eclipse approaches, it's important for viewers to take precautions and use specialized eclipse glasses or filters for safe viewing.
