The path of totality is narrow but this one will go from the west
coast to the east coast, in about 2 hours. At any given point in that
path totality will last less than 2 minutes.
No it does not happen every day. I'm sure you can find a calendar
somewhere that will give dates of future eclipses. Someone mentioned
another event coming in 2024, don't know where.
There are also lunar eclipses where instead of the sun being
blocked, the moon is blocked.

I didn't know there was to be a solar eclipse this year?
So is it a full one for you folks in the northern hemisphere or only partial?
And besides I'm sure this type of thing happens every day,
Or at least night, I believe what happens is the earth gets in front of the sun
so that the side of the earth furtherest away from the sun is eclipsed from
seeing it, and it gets very dark on that furtherest away side.

Subject: App to make the solar eclipse accessible
Hi,
People living anywhere proximate to the coming solar eclipse might want to look
into a special app intended to help blind and visually impaired people
experience this upcoming celestial event:
https://www.space.com/37746-solar-eclipse-experience-for-visually-impaired.html
The app, Eclipse Soundscape, may well be available via Itunes Appstore.
I haven't checked, though.
Enjoy!
Janina
