USA / Illinois / Makanda /

The total solar eclipse of 2017 as well as the total solar eclipse of 2024 cross at this spot. That is to say that the centers of their paths intersect here. Both eclipses will be visible (weather providing) from most anywhere along their respective paths - not just their centerlines or the point where they intersect.
