M8. The Secret Of Universe (Solar Eclipse 2024)

A total solar eclipse is coming to North America and its path of totality will sweep across the US, Mexico, and Canada. The maximum duration of totality will be about 4 minutes and 28 seconds, twice that of the 2017 Great American Eclipse. While totality will be visible from 15 American states, a partial eclipse can be seen from all 48 contiguous American states, with the next opportunity not arising until 2045. What's even more exciting this time is that during the total phase of the eclipse, there's a chance to see a comet returning after 71 years.

Comet 12P Pons-Brooks, also known as the Devil Comet, will be close to the Sun on April 8. If the comet's brightness increases in the days leading up to the eclipse, it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a comet when the Moon completely covers the Sun during the day. Besides the comet, you can even spot the brightest planets in the sky that will appear during the eclipse's total phase.
