In less than two weeks, an astronomical event of the decade will grace the skies of USA from TexS to Maine on the afternoon of Monday, April 8.
To experience the phenomenon, Special Eclipse Glasses will be required on the eclipse day to block out the sun’s harmful rays.
Where Will The Eclipse Be Visible?
All of the lower 48 U.S. states will see the moon at least clip the sun, but that sight is a trifle compared to being in the path of totality.
Because the narrow path includes or is near some of the nation’s largest cities, expect millions of people to crowd into a band of land a little over 100 miles wide that spans from the Texas/Mexico border to the Maine/Canada border.
The tatal eclipse which will last for 268s (4 min 28s) will have a band width of 198km.
The last solar eclipse of this year will be experienced on October 2, 2024.
However the next Solar eclipse of the same magnitude as that of april will be happening in August 23, 2044.
