"2024: Rare Total Solar Eclipse and Best Meteor Showers Await Skywatchers"

A rare total solar eclipse is set to occur on April 8, visible to millions across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with the Sun's corona becoming visible for approximately four minutes. Scientists are eager to study its impact on Earth's atmosphere, weather, and animal behavior, while NASA's Parker Solar Probe aims to gather data on the corona's temperature. The eclipse is of great interest to researchers and amateur eclipse chasers, with the next total eclipse over the U.S. not expected until 2044.
