"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Where, When, and How to Watch"

Solar eclipses inspire awe and disrupt life on Earth, generating revenue but also causing water shortages, traffic, and potential energy grid disruptions. The upcoming eclipse will significantly affect solar power production in the US, particularly in states with high solar capacity like Texas. Scientists are using eclipses to study solar phenomena like the corona and solar storms, which can impact Earth's technology. The next total solar eclipse will occur in 2026 over Spain, Iceland, and Greenland, with the next one visible in the US in 2033.
