"2024 Solar Eclipse: Path, Coverage, and Warnings for US Viewers"

On April 8, a total solar eclipse will cross 13 U.S. states, offering a rare spectacle as the moon blocks the sun's light along a southwest-to-northeast path across the continent. The path of totality will stretch from Texas to Maine, with major cities like Dallas, Little Rock, and Buffalo experiencing the eclipse. Spectators are advised to use certified eyewear or create pinhole projectors to safely view the event, as the next total solar eclipse in North America won't occur until 2033.
