Map of Total Solar Eclipse Path in 2024 April Image Credit: [3]NASA, [4]Science Visualization Studio Explanation: Would you like to see a total eclipse of the Sun? If so, do any friends or relatives live near the [5]path of next April's eclipse? If yes again, then you might want to arrange a well-timed visit. [6]Next April 8, the path of a [7]total solar eclipse will cross [8]North America from western [9]Mexico to eastern [10]Canada, entering the [11]USA in southern [12]Texas and exiting in northern [13]Maine. All of North America will [14]experience the least a [15]partial solar eclipse. [16]Featured here is a map of the [17]path of totality. Many people who have seen a total solar eclipse [18]tell [19]stories about it for the rest of their lives. As a warmup, an [20]annular solar eclipse will be [21]visible later this year -- in mid-October.
