"2024 Solar Eclipse: Best Viewing Spots and Safety Tips for New York"
TL;DR
This year's total solar eclipse in April may be particularly dramatic due to the sun's heightened activity during its solar maximum phase, potentially showcasing features such as streamers, gnarly magnetic loops, and even explosive coronal mass ejections. Observers in the path of totality could witness a more dynamic and complex sun, with the possibility of a northern lights display if a coronal mass ejection occurs a few days prior and is directed toward Earth.
