"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Best Viewing States and Tips"
TL;DR
The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, will be visible from over a dozen U.S. states, including Texas, Maine, and parts of Canada. NASA advises that the path of totality will stretch through several states, offering viewers the chance to see the sun's corona if weather permits. Totality will last around four-and-a-half minutes, and it is the only safe time to view the eclipse directly with the naked eye. Protective eyewear is necessary during the partial phases, and a map on NASA's website can help determine proximity to the path.
