A total solar eclipse will be visible in the area for the first time in nearly 100 years on April 8 and Niagara Falls is being touted as one of the best places to see it.
“Expect to see the moon covering the face of the sun starting about 2pm…when the shadow of the moon crosses the sun. What they call totality is when the moon goes over the face of the sun starts at about three o’clock.” says astronomer Mario Carr.
Carr says the total eclipse will last only for a short time, longer depending on where someone watches from.
“That goes on for about 1.50 in Hamilton and in Niagara where you’re more in the centre will be three minutes and 30 seconds.”
The mayor of Niagara Falls is expecting upwards of a million people to flock to the city for the “once in a lifetime” event.
“We’ve got groups that follow these types of things and say we can expect eight to ten times our biggest crowd ever. For Nick Wallenda we had over 100,000 people in the park…so do the math that’s like a million people. That alone would be a spectacle.” says Mayor Jim Diodati.
He’s anticipating the largest crowd Niagara Falls has ever had.
The last time the Niagara Region saw a total eclipse was back in 1925 and there won’t be another one for 120 years.
“People have been booking accommodations a year in advance, for Sunday night we’re almost completely sold out…for Monday night we have a couple hundred rooms available.” says Lindsay Dicosimo of the Hilton Niagara Falls.
As of now, a room at the Hilton on the day before the eclipse will cost you more than $700.
“Like anything in the area, it plays with supply and demand. There’s a demand for this event. Guests are booking a year in advance. We’re anticipating it to be another New Year’s Eve.”
Experts advise to not look directly at the eclipse and to pick up a pair of special eclipse glasses before the big day.

By the way if you view Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th you need ISO 12312-2 glasses. Because welders's glasses not safe for eclipse.

Savorinen and greetings to all science journalists around the Earth❤❤❤ On April 8, 2024, Mexicans and Texans may have a chance to make history and scientifically prove the current atomic model wrong. The so-called Allais Effect may be a real phenomenon, but in such a way that it does not always occur during a solar eclipse. It would be about how close to the center of the Earth the line between the center of the Sun and the center of the Moon intersects the center of the Earth. That is, how close the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and the Moon’s shadow passes the center of the Earth. The closer, the stronger the phenomenon. If so, scientific experiments should always be done when a total solar eclipse occurs at noon and near the equator. The April 8 solar eclipse is pretty much exactly at noon in Mexico, I believe, and the area is much closer to the equator than the North Pole. Ok, there is a lot of pressure in the center of the Earth. I assume that massive and dense particles originating from the center of the Earth are pushed out of the Earth all the time, and on April 8th they are pushed through the area shadowed by the Moon directly towards the Moon and the Sun. They meet particles corresponding to the countersphere, which originate from the Sun and the Moon. During straight alignment, these particles have time to push through the corresponding particles again and again. During the pushing through of each opposing particle, there is a strong interaction and thus the energy in the particles is dispersed over a larger area and the probability of encountering the next one increases, etc. Pushing through the moon also activates these particles. Inside the moon, this small-scale energy moves more densely and inside these particles, etc. Pushing towards the moon, these particles already have time to activate more than normal, because they encounter particles that have already penetrated the moon and activated inside the moon. Physicists are already planning a new particle accelerator at Cern. Its price is estimated at around 20 billion euros. On April 8, anyone can do scientific experiments very cheaply. For example, local tennis clubs could use devices that launch tennis balls. First, the device is adjusted to fly the balls as far and accurately as possible. So it’s not necessarily worth trying to make the balls fly just as far as possible, if you can’t make the balls fly quite precisely the same distance, you know. Ok, when we find out how far the balls fly with a certain power on average normally, we wait for the Solar eclipse and when the Moon’s shadow starts to reach the area, we start sending tennis balls into the air and monitor how far the balls fly. Perhaps a surprise will be experienced during the exam. You should fly the balls in at least two different directions. From north to south and from south to north. The more distinct groups, the better. Everyone should also think about some other scientific experiments that can be done in connection with the so-called to gravitation. Traditionally, experiments have been done with pendulums and gravity measuring devices. You should also use them. If someone has ready these small rockets that don’t aim for orbit, but only test how high you can get, then maybe during the solar eclipse it would be interesting to try if you can maybe even get much higher than you could assume based on the calculation in advance. Ps. If the solar eclipse occurs in June, then I assume that it is worth doing these experiments even if the eclipse is closer to one of the polar regions than the equator and even if it is late evening or early morning. This is because then the Earth is in the area between the Sun and the supermassive object in the center of the galaxy. Perhaps from the center of the galaxy there is also a kind of matter / energy that physicists do not yet understand. At least that’s what I assume. That is, these supermassive objects in the centers of galaxies may emit dark matter as separate condensations that are much denser than the separate condensations in the nuclei of the atoms of the observable matter. The denser, the slower the internal motion / time and the less these dark matter particles would interact with observable matter. In June, when the Earth is in the area between the Sun and the center of the galaxy, these dark matter particles inside the Earth would meet the energy from the Sun in the opposite sphere and thus their internal movement / time would speed up and the interaction with the Earth’s matter would intensify. I assume that the Earth gets new matter in its center in June when these dark matter particles collide in the center of the Earth with the nuclei of the Earth’s atoms. Could the Earth even get new water molecules in its center? That is, would new solid matter, but also new water and gas molecules, be born in the center of the Earth? If so, perhaps the researchers should observe that more water and gas molecules escape from the Earth than estimated. Greetings to all Mexicans and Texans. Also for all those who have the opportunity to participate in scientific experiments on April 8. April 8, 2024 may be a very significant day for humanity, but it may not be so without you🙂 ❤️
