Lunar shadow that crosses North America this Monday unleashes a fever that mobilizes millions of people. Hotel prices in the path of totality have skyrocketed.
Airlines like Southwest and Delta have announced flight routes to view the eclipse. Hundreds of schools have decided to close or hold classes remotely in Texas, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont. The baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Miami Marlins has had to be delayed four hours due to the eclipse, so that the playing field does not darken shortly after it starts.
