Product Description
Micro Trains 038 00 551 N 50' Standard Box Car, Plug Door w/o Roofwalk - 2024 Solar Eclipse # 4824
The total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, also known as the Great North American Eclipse, was visible across much of the contiguous United States and parts of Mexico and Canada. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, obscuring the Sun. A total solar eclipse, like this one, occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight across a limited path on the Earth. The images on this commemorative boxcar were taken in Cleveland, Ohio by MTL Graphic Artist Brandon T, and represent a progression of the eclipse over 2.5 hours, showing solar prominences and coronal streamers.
