      Introduction

      Thank you for purchasing this book. It has everything you need to know about the total eclipse in Kentucky on April 8, 2024.

      A total eclipse passing through the United States is a rare event. The last US total eclipse was in 2017. It traveled from Oregon to South Carolina. The last American total eclipse prior to that was in 1979!

      The next total eclipse over the US will not be until April 8, 2024. It will pass over Texas, the Midwest, and on to Maine. After that, the next coast-to-coast total eclipse will be in 2045.

      It’s imperative to make travel plans early. You will be amazed at the number of people swarming to the total eclipse path. Some might say watching a partial versus a total eclipse is a similar experience. It’s not.

      This book is written for Kentucky visitors and anyone else viewing the eclipse. You will find general planning, viewing, and photography information inside. Should you travel to the eclipse path in Kentucky in April, be prepared for an epic trip. The estimates based on the 2017 eclipse suggest that millions will converge on Kentucky.

      Some hotels in the communities and cities along the path of totality in Kentucky have already been contacted by people to make reservations. Finding lodging along the eclipse path may be a major challenge.

      Resources will be stretched far beyond the normal limits. Think gas lines from the late 1970s. It may be likely that traffic along highways will come to a complete standstill during this event. Be prepared with backup supplies.

      Many smaller Kentucky towns are far from any major city. Kentucky
