Eclipse Details
The eclipse will commence in western Mexico around 12:10 pm Mountain Time. It will then traverse the United States, passing over several states before exiting the continent. The total phase of the eclipse, where the sun is completely obscured by the moon, will be visible along a narrow path within the United States.
Dubbed the "Great North American Eclipse," this phenomenon will offer a unique opportunity to witness the moon's shadow glide over the surface of the sun. The total phase will last for a few precious minutes, providing an awe-inspiring celestial display.
For those outside the path of totality, partial phases of the eclipse will still be visible, allowing for a glimpse of this astronomical event. Remember to take necessary precautions to protect your eyes during the eclipse, such as using solar eclipse glasses.
Get ready for April 8, 2024, as North America prepares for another unforgettable total solar eclipse. Plan your viewing experience using the interactive map to find the best spot to witness this celestial wonder.
