Time And Date Of The Total Eclipse

The total eclipse is on April 8, 2024. The times depend on where you view the eclipse, but it usually occurs in the afternoon. Its path travels over the South Pacific Ocean and moves northeast over the United States.

What Happens During The Total Eclipse?

A total solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun, completely blocking the sun from view. You can only experience a total solar eclipse if you are on the path of totality, where you can see the sky and areas go completely dark. You can still see the eclipse outside the path of totality, but the effect won’t be as noticeable.

How To Safely Watch The Total Solar Eclipse?

Remember, safety comes first! Directly looking at the eclipse can harm your eyes unless you’re equipped with special eye protection. The best and safest way to enjoy the eclipse is to purchase a pair of glasses or create a pinhole projector. This way, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the eclipse without any risk to your eyesight.
