Mark your calendars for April 8, 2024, when a captivating total solar eclipse will traverse Mexico, sweep across the United States from Texas to Maine, and bid farewell to North America along Canada’s Atlantic coast.

During a total solar eclipse, the Moon gracefully passes between the Sun and Earth, momentarily obscuring the Sun's entire disk and unveiling its ethereal corona, a delicate, white outer atmosphere.

Not within the eclipse's path? No worries! Tune in with NASA from anywhere worldwide. Experience live broadcast coverage on April 8 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT (1700 to 2000 UTC) on NASA TV, NASA.gov, the NASA app, and via YouTube: go.nasa.gov/3OI7nLF.

Weather permitting, individuals across much of North and Central America, including the contiguous United States, will witness at least a partial solar eclipse. A partial eclipse occurs when the Moon partially covers the Sun. Hawaii and select parts of Alaska will also catch a glimpse of this celestial event. Discover the eclipse's visibility details here: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Map.

CAUTION: Save for the brief total phase of the eclipse when the Moon completely obscures the Sun's brilliant face, direct observation of the Sun without proper eye protection is hazardous. Explore safe viewing methods, such as pinhole projectors, to savor the eclipse's spectacle securely. For guidance on safe viewing practices, visit: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Safety.
