TL;DR Summary

The year 2024 promises a spectacular array of celestial events for astronomy enthusiasts, including a total solar eclipse across North America in April, supermoons, meteor showers, and increased solar activity leading to stunning aurora displays. Stargazers can expect twelve full moons, with the Harvest and Hunter's moons being supermoons. Eclipses will feature prominently, with a total solar eclipse, an annular solar eclipse, a penumbral lunar eclipse, and a partial lunar eclipse occurring throughout the year. The sun's peak activity may cause disruptions but also enhance auroras near the poles. Meteor showers will pepper the sky starting with the Quadrantids in early January, and several others following suit across the months.
