"2024 Solar Eclipse: Path, Peak Times, and Viewing Tips Across the U.S."

A total solar eclipse is set to cross North America on April 8, 2024, with parts of 15 U.S. states within the path of totality, where the moon will fully block out the sun. Maps show the path and timing of the eclipse, which will range between 108 and 122 miles wide and include major cities such as San Antonio, Dallas, Indianapolis, and Buffalo. Outside the path of totality, observers may see a partial eclipse, and NASA provides a tool to check how much of the sun will be covered in specific locations. The next total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous U.S. will be on August 23, 2044.
