LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Are you ready for the solar eclipse? It's coming up April 8, when people from all over the world will travel to experience the phenomenon.
The Louisville area is right in the viewing path, mainly southern Indiana.
Greg Miller from the Louisville Astronomical Society visited WDRB Mornings on Friday to give his tips on how to make the best of your eclipse experience.
The event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as it is going through a list of big cities and is easy to get to.
A state of emergency has been declared in Indiana due to travel expectations. With the current forecast, Indiana is showing to be one of the best viewing areas and is expecting to bring around 500,000 people to the state.
If you are planning to travel, Miller recommended to be prepared for traffic. Have plenty of gas in your car and food as places may run out due to the amount of people in one place.
The phenomenon has often been described as emotional and overwhelming, Miller said Friday. He recommended to take time to watch it and take in the whole experience, as we only get to see something like this once or sometimes twice in our lives.
