NASA's Scientific Visualization StudioApril 8’s total solar eclipse is being made unnecessarily complicated by some in the travel industry that seem, at best, unable to understand the event’s basic science and geography.
The use of oxymoronic phrases like “partial totality,” “90% of the total eclipse,” and “best place for the 99.8% total eclipse” betray that they either don’t have a clue about how a total solar eclipse works, or else they don’t want to miss out on a perceived tourism bonanza.If you see “solar eclipse viewing event”—without a “partial” or “total” qualifier—presume it’s the former.
