5 IiPaki zeSizwe apho Unokubukela i-Total Eclipse ye-Solar

Ngomhla ka-Agasti 21, 2017, ukuphela kokuphela kwelanga kuya kuqhubeka eNtshona Melika. Ngexesha elimalunga namaxesha amabini anesithathu, iphela lizwe liza kubakho ukuphela kwelanga, ngelixa iqela eliphakathi kwe-70-male band eliphuma e-Oregon ukuya eSouth Carolina liya kuba nemizuzu embalwa yobumnyama bonke. Yisihlandlo sokuqala eso senzakalo sezulu senzeke ukususela ngowe-1979, okwenza kube yithuba elingavumelekanga ukunikela ubungqina obu bume bendalo bokuqala.

Oku kuye kwabangela abantu abaninzi ukuba benze izicwangciso zokuhamba ukuya kwiindawo apho ukugqithisa kuya kubonakala kakhulu, kunye neehotele, iinkampu, kunye neendawo zokuqashisa eziye zafakwa ezinyangeni ngaphambili. Njengoko kuvela, umzila wokusibalala uya kunqumla phezu kweepaki zelizwe lase-US, okwenza ezo ndawo ezimangalisayo zingaphandle indawo enkulu yokubukela inyanga idlulele elangeni. Siye saqulunqa uludwe lwethu lweepaki ezilungileyo kakhulu zelizwe ukuze sivelele esi siganeko njengoko siqhubeka, musa ukulibala ukuzisa izilwanyana zokukhusela zakho.

  Umhla kaJohn Day Imibhede yeSizwe Isikhumbuzo: I-Oregon

  Ukugqithwa kuya kuqale e-ntshona ye-US ngentsasa ye-Agasti 21 kwaye uhambele empuma kulo lonke usuku.
