TL;DR Summary

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 may not feature solar storms due to the sun's current quiet phase, but it is still expected to be visually stunning. Solar activity has been high recently, but the sun is now surprisingly calm with minimal sunspot activity. Despite this, the eclipse's totality will offer a remarkable view of the sun's corona, and observers may also spot stars, planets, and the "devil comet," 12P/Pons-Broos. Safety precautions are crucial when observing the eclipse, with the reminder that it is only safe to look at the sun without eye protection during totality within the eclipse's path.
