On April 8, enthusiasts of celestial events throughout North America will experience a spectacular viewing opportunity as a total solar eclipse traverses Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
This event unfolds when the moon moves in front of the sun, entirely obscuring its light and momentarily making the sun vanish from sight.
For thousands of years, this striking event has fueled stories and legends. It is estimated that 32 million Americans, among millions more, will be directly in the path of the moon’s shadow, offering them a front-row seat to the eclipse.
