Niagara Falls and NASA Host Historic Total Solar Eclipse Event

For the first time in 99 years, Niagara Falls will plunge into darkness during a total solar eclipse, drawing thousands of spectators and leading to widespread school closures.

Niagara Falls State Park, celebrating its centennial year, will experience a total solar eclipse on April 8, marking its first such event since 1925.
NASA officials and astronauts will be on site at Niagara Falls to give talks, with the area expecting thousands of visitors and special events planned from April 4 to 8.
School districts across 14 states in the eclipse's path are canceling classes or ending early on April 8 due to safety concerns, including the risk of eye injury from improper viewing.
Viewing conditions at Niagara Falls may be challenging due to unpredictable April weather, with a high chance of cloud cover and advice to prepare for cold and wet conditions.
Road closures and traffic advisories are in effect around Niagara Falls State Park and other viewing areas, with visitors encouraged to arrive early and use public transportation.
