On Monday, April 8th, 2024, a solar eclipse will be visible from North America. This one is very special because the path of the Moon's shadow sweeps through the continental United States, from Texas all the way to Maine. If you are lucky enough to be in the center of the eclipse path, you will see a total eclipse -- one of Nature's most spectacular celestial events. It will be an unforgettable experience.
Just six months prior to that, another solar eclipse is visible from the United States. On Saturday, October 14th, 2023, an annular eclipse casts its shadow on Oregon all the way down to Texas. Since the Moon is a bit farther away from Earth on this one, a "ring of fire" is visible surrounding the dark Moon -- an amazing sight of annularity of the Sun.
If you miss these, no worries. The next one is visiting the U.S. in 2044 -- and also in 2045!
