"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Where and When to Watch Across the U.S."

Millions of people across North America witnessed the total solar eclipse as it moved across the U.S., with the first sighting in Mazatlán, Mexico, followed by a "path of totality" spanning over 100 miles. The sun was fully obscured by the moon for a few minutes in 15 states, with at least partial visibility in 49 states, excluding Alaska. This event marked one of the rare occurrences of total solar eclipses in the U.S., with the next one not expected until 2033.
