"Planetary Sightings During Solar Eclipse Totality"

During the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, if the skies are clear, skygazers may be able to spot Jupiter, Venus, and possibly Mars and Saturn in the dark sky. Mercury and Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will also be present but will require binoculars or a telescope to see. It's important to prioritize eye safety and avoid looking directly at the sun without proper protection. KSAT will provide live coverage of the eclipse from various locations, allowing viewers to choose their preferred angle to watch the event.
