Great American Eclipse 2024 to Dazzle North America

The first total solar eclipse of the 21st century in the US, Canada, and Mexico offers unparalleled viewing and scientific opportunities.

The Great American Eclipse 2024, set for April 8, marks the first total solar eclipse to traverse the US, Canada, and Mexico in the 21st century, with the next not until 2044.
New York, highly anticipating the eclipse, will experience totality for the first time in 99 years, reviving memories of the 1925 eclipse that notably divided the city.
Weather conditions, influenced by the fading El Niño, may affect visibility, but historical data suggests favorable conditions, especially in southern states within the eclipse's path.
NASA has planned several experiments to take advantage of the eclipse, including studying sunspots, the ionosphere, and attempting to capture the elusive 'coronal heating problem'.
Cities like San Antonio and Montreal will be uniquely 'sliced in half' by the eclipse's path, offering a mix of total and partial eclipse experiences.
