Total Solar Eclipse to Be Visible in Parts of Mexico, Canada, and Over 10 US States

Upcoming Eclipse to Take Place on April 8, 2024

Mexico, the United States, and Canada will be treated to a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. The eclipse will be visible in various cities across Mexico, and will also cross over 10 states in the United States. The phenomenon will begin in Mexico at sunrise, and will end in Canada at sunset. The total eclipse will be visible for up to four and a half minutes in some areas.

Where to See the Eclipse

In Mexico, the eclipse will be visible in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Veracruz, and Mexico City. In the United States, the eclipse will be visible in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The path of the eclipse will also cross over the southern tip of Maine, but the total eclipse will not be visible in that state.

How to View the Eclipse Safely

It is important to view the solar eclipse safely. Looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can cause permanent damage to your eyes. To view the eclipse safely, you should use special eclipse glasses. These glasses are designed to block out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. You can purchase eclipse glasses online or at most science museums.

What to Expect During the Eclipse

During a total solar eclipse, the moon will pass directly in front of the sun. This will block out all of the sun's light, and will create a dark shadow on the Earth. The sky will darken, and the stars will become visible. The temperature will also drop, and animals may behave strangely.

The Total Solar Eclipse is a Rare Event

Total solar eclipses are relatively rare events. The next total solar eclipse visible in North America will not occur until April 8, 2044. If you have the opportunity to view the upcoming eclipse, be sure to take advantage of it. It is a truly awe-inspiring experience.
