Millions Anticipate 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Across U.S.

From Texas to Maine, unique viewing events and activities are planned for one of the most viewed celestial events in history.

Up to four million people are expected to witness the 2024 total solar eclipse across the U.S., from Texas to Maine, marking one of the most viewed celestial events in history.
The eclipse, occurring on April 8, will be longer than the one in 2017, with the next one not expected for another 20 years, adding to the anticipation.
Numerous public events and viewing parties are planned across the country, offering unique experiences such as learning about astronomy from Indigenous perspectives and engaging in activities for the visually impaired.
Cities outside the path of totality, like Cincinnati, will host events for a partial eclipse, allowing those unable to travel to the path of totality to still participate in the experience.
Experts suggest even those outside the path of totality can enjoy the eclipse through methods like pinhole projections and participating in citizen science projects, highlighting the widespread interest in the phenomenon.
