Total Solar Eclipse to Cross North America in 2024
NASA Releases Path Map for 2023 and 2024 Solar Eclipses
Get ready for a celestial spectacle! NASA has announced that a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, captivating millions of people across North America.
Eclipsing over Mexico, United States, and Canada
The eclipse will begin in Mexico, where it will be visible as a partial solar eclipse. It will then traverse the United States, offering a total solar eclipse experience to observers in a path from Mexico City to the Atlantic coast of Canada.
During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely blocks out the sun, creating a breathtaking darkness that can only be experienced in person. The 2024 eclipse will be one of the most accessible total solar eclipses in recent history, with millions of people having the opportunity to witness this celestial event.
Preparing for the Eclipse
NASA recommends that anyone planning to view the eclipse take precautions to protect their eyes. Specialized solar eclipse glasses or certified solar filters should be worn to avoid eye damage caused by the intense light.
