Philadelphia area enthusiast goes the distance to witness solar eclipse

Of the millions of people expected to watch Monday's solar eclipse, a small group of them are known as "eclipse chasers."

They plan years in advance to travel to places located in an eclipse's path of totality.

Brandon Goldner introduces a local eclipse chaser and the lengths he's going to ensure he experiences totality.

Chris Orion, a Deptford resident, became an eclipse chaser after experiencing his first solar eclipse in August 2017 in Clemson, South Carolina.

"It was the most exciting, magical thing I've ever seen in my life. It was awe-inspiring," Orion said. "Something changes inside of you, and you want to see more and more eclipses."
