Heard on the radio...
The last total solar eclipse visible in Kingston - or more accurately, on the patch of ground where Kingston is now - was in 1349!!
Quote:
The 2024 eclipse will be visible from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. For the first time in almost 700 years, Kingston is in the path of totality, or where the Sun will be completely blocked out by the Moon. This means many people will be flocking to the area to view this wondrous celestial spectacle, so planning needs to start ASAP!
For Kingstonians, this coming total solar eclipse will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime event: as mentioned, the last eclipse was almost 700 years ago in 1349, and the next one won't be for another 375 years in 2399!

No non-Indigenous person has ever seen a total solar eclipse from the area of Kingston before.
