The first total solar eclipse of the year will take place on April 8. More than a million people may gather in front of Niagara Falls to watch the rare eclipse. This solar eclipse will be clearly visible from several areas of the western hemisphere of the world.
And based on this, the administration has declared a state of emergency to handle the tourist crowd in the Niagara Falls area of Ontario, Canada.
The eclipse can be seen very clearly from in front of Niagara Falls in Canada. Niagara Falls is one of the best places to watch any eclipse. Before that, tourists started to gather in Niagara. Aspirants arrive days in advance to see the eclipse. Many have booked tickets to Niagara.
The special feature of the solar eclipse on the 8th is its permanence. Scientists say it will last for a long time. This eclipse will be the longest in the last 50 years. An eclipse occurs when the Earth, Moon and Sun line up and the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The type of eclipse depends on the position of the Moon. When the sun is completely covered by the shadow of the moon, it is called a total eclipse. The full eclipse is going to take place on April 8. On that day, the sunlight will be completely covered for some time. The eclipse will be seen from the Pacific countries including America, Mexico, Canada.
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati said April 8 is going to be a new precedent in the city. Before this, so many tourists have never set foot in that city in one day. Crowding can lead to traffic congestion, increased demand on mobile networks and emergency services. Keeping all those aspects in mind, the administration has taken necessary steps.
