"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Top Tips for Prime Viewing Locations"

A total solar eclipse is set to cross North America on April 8, 2024, with the path of totality touching more than a dozen U.S. states. While observers within this path will witness the sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona, 99% of people in the U.S. will be able to see at least a partial eclipse. Michigan is not in the path of totality, but southeastern parts of the state will see up to 99% of the sun obscured. Travelers to neighboring states are advised to plan ahead due to potential traffic congestion, and everyone is reminded to take precautions when viewing the eclipse to protect their eyes.
