TL;DR Summary

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America, visible in parts of 13 US states, Mexico, and Canada. The path of totality will be within a 115-mile wide swath, with the eclipse lasting around four and a half minutes. To catch the full eclipse experience, planning ahead is key, and eclipse glasses are necessary to avoid eye damage. The US will also see an annular eclipse later this year, and a rare hybrid eclipse later this month.
