"Best Places to Witness the April 2024 Solar Eclipse and Duration of Darkness in New York"
TL;DR
During April's total eclipse, a "double diamond ring" effect, also known as Baily's Beads, will be visible in parts of Central Texas as the last bit of the sun is covered by the moon and when it reemerges, caused by the uneven edge of the moon. Cartographer Michael Zeiler has created maps showing where this phenomenon will be visible, particularly just west of Fredericksburg and Kerrville, and has also created 14 maps across North America for other viewing locations. Solar eclipse glasses are necessary for safe viewing, and only those within the path of totality can briefly remove them when the sun is completely obscured.
