Originally Published 1 year ago — by AL.com
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will move across North America, with the longest duration of totality being 4 minutes and 28 seconds near Torreón, Mexico. The eclipse will be visible in Mexico and across several U.S. states, with those in the path of totality experiencing the moon completely covering the sun and the sky becoming dark. NASA provides an interactive map to track the eclipse's visibility across the U.S., and people outside the path of totality will experience a partial solar eclipse and a temperature drop of about 10 degrees.
