Exactly two years from today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America, plunging tens of millions of people into the stunning darkness known as totality, when the moon passes in front of the sun, completely blocking its rays.
This eclipse, which will take place on Monday, April 8, 2024, will pass over Mexico, across the U.S. and through Canada, and will mesmerize even more people than the 2022 Great American Total Solar Eclipse. That blockbuster sự kiện had a nearly 70-mile-wide (opens in new tab) (113 kilometers) path of totality that passed from Oregon to South Carolina, where 12.25 million people lived. In contrast, the 2024 total solar eclipse's 115-mile-wide (185 km) path of totality in the U.S. will pass from Texas through Maine and wow a region where 31.5 million people live, according to Kelly Korreck, head of science operations and project manager for the Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons NASA.
Even the length of totality will be longer. "The maximum duration of totality will be 4 minutes and 26 seconds in southwest Texas, so that's almost double what we saw in 2022," Korreck told Live Science. "That's a lot more time in that darkness with the sun blotted out by the moon."
During a total solar eclipse, the sun, moon and Earth line up on an imaginary 180-degree line. When this occurs, the moon blocks the sun's light, plunging parts of Earth into a few minutes of darkness. During this darkness, or totality, temperatures can drop more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit (opens in new tab) (8.3 degrees Celsius). Despite it being daytime, many animals act like it's nighttime, with birds roosting and crickets chirping, Korreck added.

On April 8, 2024, the total solar eclipse will make landfall Isla Socorro, about 370 miles (600 km) off the coast of Mexico. Then it will pass through the Mexican cities of Mazatlán, Torreón and Durango before crossing into Texas 1:27 p.m. CDT (2:27 p.m. EDT).

Finally, the path of totality will extend over parts of Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Even for those not along the path of totality, a celestial show awaits: "The entire U.S. will see a partial eclipse," in which the moon partly covers the sun, Korreck said.

(Image credit: Michael Zeiler, GreatAmericanEclipse.com)During totality, people can look the sky without protective eye gear, but that's not the case for partial eclipse viewers. Before and after totality occurs and for people watching a partial eclipse from outside the path, it's critical to wear protective eyewear — such as solar eclipse glasses (these are different from sunglasses). Other gadgets, such as solar eclipse viewers, can help people see the eclipse safely projected on a background. (Never look directly a solar eclipse unless you are in complete totality, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (opens in new tab). Looking directly the sun can damage your eyes.)
These tools will also come in handy for the Oct. 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse, which will pass over North America (from Oregon to Texas), Central America and South America. However, there will be no totality during this eclipse; rather, the moon will pass in front of the sun but not completely block its rays, leaving a "ring of fire" around the moon's edges.
"It's not as dramatic [as totality] but it's still very beautiful — it's the ring of fire," Korreck said. This happens when the sun, moon and Earth line up, but "the moon is farthest from the Earth that point when it passes between the Earth and the sun. That's why you don't get total coverage."
For people who want to experience totality but don't live in the projected path for the 2024 total solar eclipse, now is the time to reserve lodgings. After all, the next total solar eclipse to cross over the United States won't happen again until Aug. 12, 2045.
"So in some ways, get your eclipse now," Korreck said.
