2024 Solar Eclipse

The 2024 Solar Eclipse refers to a total solar eclipse that will occur on April 8, 2024. During this event, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun, completely covering the Sun’s disk in certain areas, resulting in a dramatic darkening of the sky. This eclipse is notable for its path, which will cross several states in the United States, including Texas, Indiana, and Maine, as well as parts of Mexico and Canada. Totality, the phase when the Sun is fully obscured, will be visible in a narrow path, while a partial eclipse will be visible in a broader area. Solar eclipses are significant astronomical events that can provide opportunities for scientific research and public engagement in astronomy.
