Solar eclipses don't happen all that often, but more importantly at any given location on earth they can be incredibly rare events, separated by hundreds or thousands of years. They are not like lunar eclipses which are visible for long periods of time and observable by essentially half the earth. Solar eclipses only cover a narrow path of earth and last only minutes at a specific location. So even if they do happen many times during a person's life, it's not as if you can hop on a plane and fly to, say, Australia to see one. I had the opportunity to see one in Virginia around 1969 or 1970. It really was the most beautiful thing. Birds acted as if it were sunset, and then minutes later as if it were dawn. We had a crystal-clear sky. I will witness one again if I have the chance.

What do people in the penumbra see during an eclipse?
People in the penumbra during a solar eclipse will see a partial eclipse, where the sun is only partially covered by the moon. This results in a crescent shape of sunlight rather than a total blockage. The amount of sunlight that is blocked will depend on how close they are to the umbra, the central region of the shadow.
