TL;DR Summary

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America, visible within a 115-mile wide swath that will hit parts of 13 U.S. states, Mexico, and Canada. The eclipse will last for around four and a half minutes, almost twice as long as the 2017 eclipse. Total eclipses happen about every 18 months, but a lot of times they cross over remote areas where few people see them.
