This eclipse will traverse a path from the Pacific coast of Mexico, passing through Texas, the Midwest, and the Northeastern United States, before heading out over the Atlantic Ocean towards Canada.
During this total solar eclipse, observers within the path of totality will experience the Sun being completely blocked by the Moon for a short period, turning day into night for a few minutes.
Outside of the path of totality, observers may still witness a partial solar eclipse, where only a portion of the Sun is obscured by the Moon.
Total solar eclipses are highly anticipated events and attract numerous skywatchers and enthusiasts to locations along the path of totality to witness this rare celestial occurrence.
It’s essential to observe safety precautions when viewing a solar eclipse to protect your eyes from harmful solar radiation. Using proper eye protection, such as eclipse glasses or solar filters, is necessary to avoid eye damage.
