The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 2024 promises to be a rare and unique opportunity for over 30 million people to witness the awe-inspiring sight of totality. NASA has carefully mapped out the path of totality across the United States, from Texas to Ohio to New York and Maine.
For those who live in the eclipse’s path, the experience will be even more incredible, but many more people will still have the chance to witness it by traveling just a short distance. To witness totality where the moon completely blocks the sun, you need to be in the right place at exactly the right time. Fortunately, NASA has created a map that can help you determine the optimal locations and times to view this celestial event.
As the eclipse travels across America on April 8, 2024, it will make its way through Maine and exit the country by 3:35 p.m. Eastern Time. This marks everyone’s last chance to see a total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. for at least two decades until 2044 when it will make its way through Wyoming and Nebraska again before disappearing into space once more. So don’t miss this rare event; plan your viewing location accordingly!
