On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will travel through Mexico, cross the United States from Texas to Maine, and exit North America along Canada’s Atlantic coast.
A total solar eclipse
occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and briefly covers the
full disk of the Sun. This reveals the Sun’s wispy, white outer atmosphere,
called the corona.
Not in the path of
the eclipse? Watch with NASA from anywhere in the world. We will provide 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 right here on YouTube:

Weather permitting,
people throughout most of North and Central America, including all of the
contiguous United States, will be able to view at least a partial solar
eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon only covers part of the Sun.
People in Hawaii and parts of Alaska will also experience a partial solar
eclipse. Click here to learn more about when and where the solar eclipse will
be visible: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Map
WARNING: Except
during the brief total phase of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely
blocks the Sun’s bright face, it is not safe to look directly at the Sun
without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Indirect viewing methods,
such as pinhole projectors, can also be used to experience an eclipse. For more
