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 eclipse will last 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. The US will get some eclipse action ahead of the big event in 2024, with an annular eclipse later this year on Oct. 14.
