"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Your Complete Guide to Watching Live"

A total solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Mexico, the US, and Canada on Monday, with the "path of totality" stretching from Mexico's western coast to Canada's easternmost province. The eclipse will last only a few minutes, and safety precautions are crucial, as viewing the partial eclipse without protective glasses can lead to eye injuries. The next total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, over Greenland, Iceland, and Spain, and experts estimate that total eclipses will cease to occur in 563 million years due to the moon's gradual movement away from the Earth and the sun's expansion.
