Can I Look At The Eclipse Today

Total Solar Eclipse Across North America: A Spectacular Celestial Event

Witness Nature's Marvel on April 8, 2024

Prepare for a Captivating Experience

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America, offering an awe-inspiring celestial event for millions to witness. This celestial phenomenon occurs when the moon's shadow completely covers the Sun, causing a temporary blackout of sunlight.

The path of totality, where the eclipse will be visible in its full glory, will stretch from Mexico through 15 US states, including Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, and Nova Scotia. Viewers within this path will experience an unforgettable moment as day turns into night for a few minutes.

Outside the path of totality, a partial eclipse will be visible across much of the US, Mexico, and Canada. While not as dramatic as a total eclipse, it still offers a fascinating glimpse at this natural wonder.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, follow these precautions:

• Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection.
• Use certified ISO 12312-2 compliant eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer.
• Remove eclipse glasses or solar viewer before and after totality and during a partial eclipse.
• NASA will provide live streams of the eclipse for those unable to view it in person.

Don't miss this spectacular celestial event. Mark your calendars for April 8, 2024, and get ready to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of a total solar eclipse.
