HI Josh, I have a question if you could find the time to answer.
Being that you're a space reporter I feel like you'd know this, for every solar eclipse we've had in 2017 and prior, was there always heavy coverage on it like it is for this year's 2024??
I don't even remember knowing about 2017's solar eclipse until AFTER it happened because I don't remember hearing anything about it...but regarding this one I've been hearing about it for 2 months now. Everywhere I turn someone is talking or reporting about the solar eclipse and I guess it just made me curious..

Has there always been this much coverage regarding solar eclipses??
