It’s not often that a solar eclipse garners such widespread attention. While these celestial events are indeed stunning and occur with regularity, this particular eclipse seems to have sparked an extraordinary level of interest—at least in my recollection.

A peculiar phenomenon is unfolding. The date of April 8, which marks the solar eclipse, has become a focal point for numerous theories circulating online. Additionally, NASA's initiative to launch rockets aimed at studying the upper atmosphere during this event has attracted skepticism. Similarly, CERN's plans for the Large Hadron Collider have not gone unnoticed, drawing criticism from various corners of the internet.

For those who may be unaware, a solar eclipse is set to occur on Monday, with numerous states falling within the path of totality. The last instance of such an event crossing through the United States was in 2017.

Eclipses aren't infrequent; they happen at least twice a year. So what accounts for the frenzy surrounding this one? A significant factor is its timing. With the 2024 elections on the horizon, political tensions are already at a boiling point, especially given the stark polarization in our society. Far-right Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene recently made a post on X about the eclipse, which contributed to the buzz.

Furthermore, Greene isn't the only one discussing this event; there are numerous posts highlighting that the eclipse will pass over eight towns named Nineveh.

Adding to the intrigue, certain news segments have raised eyebrows with comments that seem alarming. One anchor mentioned something about an "eclipse earthquake," leaving many to wonder about the implications.

Moreover, educational institutions in Texas have opted to close their doors on the day of the eclipse. States positioned in the path of totality are advising residents to prepare by stocking up on supplies, including two weeks' worth of food and water, to accommodate the influx of eclipse tourists.
