"Best States for Viewing 2024 Solar Eclipse's Path of Totality"

The path of totality for the 2024 total solar eclipse will cross a large swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, offering millions of Americans the chance to witness the celestial event. The eclipse will pass through 13 U.S. states, with totality expected to occur at different times in major cities along the path. A new map suggests a narrower path of totality, but NASA won't be making any alterations to its calculations. While eclipse glasses are necessary until totality, the rare opportunity allows spectators to witness the eclipse with the naked eye during that time.
