The next total solar eclipse to cross America will occur on April 8, 2024. Show
To view it, you must situate yourself within the narrow path of the moon’s shadow, which will cross the country from Texas to Maine. Cities within this zone include Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo.  People elsewhere in the lower 48 states—outside the path of totality—will experience a partial solar eclipse, an interesting but fundamentally different event. Only inside the path, and only during those few minutes when the moon entirely covers the solar surface, is it safe to look at the sun directly. For that brief period, you will see the sun's majestic outer atmosphere, its corona. "A total eclipse pulls back the curtain that is the daytime sky, exposing what is above our heads but unseen at any other time: the solar system. Suddenly, you perceive our blazing sun as never before, flanked by bright stars and planets." —David Baron, from the prologue to American Eclipse.For tips on where to view the eclipse, advice on how to do so safely, and maps of the path of totality, please visit the following: Save Article from space.com Plan your next eclipse trip with these maps of the 2024 total solar eclipse's path of totality across the United States, from Texas to Maine.Space.com (Official) 203k followers More information Plan your next eclipse trip with these maps of the 2024 total solar eclipse's path of totality across the United States, from Texas to Maine.Find this Pin and more on trip 2 by Holly Paine. 2024 Eclipse Total Eclipse Solar Eclipse Photography Next Solar Eclipse Eclipse Party Ohio Path Of Totality Central Line Solar Eclipses More information Plan your next eclipse trip with these maps of the 2024 total solar eclipse's path of totality across the United States, from Texas to Maine.Find this Pin and more on trip 2 by Holly Paine. Resources / Maps, Globes & Calculators
Here you'll find some of the best eclipse maps, globes, and calculators available, as judged by members of the AAS Solar Eclipse Task Force. To avoid overwhelming you with too much information, we've intentionally weighted our listings toward resources that are relatively new, up to date, and/or especially relevant to the October 14, 2023, and/or April 8, 2024, American solar eclipses. We've also considered quality, of course; if something is listed here, we think it's of high quality. If it's not listed here, that doesn't mean it's not of high quality — it just means we can't list everything (or we haven't heard of it). If you have, or know of, a resource that you think belongs here, please contact us; we can't guarantee that we'll add the item to our website, but we will consider it.
