Carbondale vive su momento de gloria por estos días. Y es que según los expertos en esta ciudad del sur del estado de Illinois, Estados Unidos, de 25.000 habitantes, es donde el eclipse solar 2017 se verá por más tiempo y en su totalidad: durará 2 minutos y 38 segundos, reseña Clarin.

Es por eso que las autoridades locales calculan que entre 100.000 y 200.000 personas visitarán esta ciudad en esta fecha. Tanto es así que crearon una web específica (www.carbondaleeclipse.com), con información de la ciudad en función de este evento.
