Leticia Ferrer measures her life in solar eclipses and is preparing to observe the 21st such phenomenon, the Associated Press reported.
The Texan, who is 63, has traveled to all seven continents and even the oceans in between to observe total solar eclipses, having seen all of them since 1998 and a few before that, BTA reported.
This time she doesn’t need to travel far. The total solar eclipse over North America on April 8 will be visible from her home in Farmers Branch, near Dallas. She plans to go to a location about an hour south to observe him a little longer.
Ferrer saves up for these trips and takes the vacation. This will be the third eclipse to be observed over North America.
“I have been to Europe once, to Africa twice. I went to Antarctica twice. To Asia three times. And several times in the middle of the ocean. For two of them we were in the middle of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans – they were not visible from land “, she recalls.
She also observed hybrid solar eclipses.
In 2017, Ferrer even delayed his cancer treatment to watch a solar eclipse.
Leticia Ferrer jokes that she hopes to live to be 103 so she can witness her 50th total or hybrid solar eclipse.
