Get ready for a spectacular celestial event as the total solar eclipse of April 2024 is set to cast a shadow across North America. This rare astronomical occurrence will provide viewers with the opportunity to witness the sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun.
The path of the eclipse will traverse Mexico and the United States, stretching from Texas to Maine. Viewers within a specific band from Mazatlán, Mexico to Gander, Canada will be lucky enough to experience a total solar eclipse. The width of the total eclipse path will vary from 108 miles to 122 miles, allowing for a unique viewing experience.
Those inside the path of the total eclipse can expect to witness a drop in temperature, changes in wind patterns, the appearance of bright planets, and even quiet wildlife.
