Total Solar Eclipse
A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, April 8, 2024, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This event will hold significance for amateur astronomers.
How does it happen?
During a total solar eclipse, the Sun aligns near the intersection points of the Moon’s and Earth’s orbits, while the Moon is at its farthest point from this intersection, allowing direct propagation of light.
Path of Totality
The April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse traverses North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Beginning over the South Pacific Ocean, the first location in continental North America to witness totality is Mexico’s Pacific coast at approximately 11:07 a.m. PDT.
