Total Solar Eclipse to Occur on April 8, 2024
Countdown to the Celestial Event
Mark your calendars for Monday, April 8, 2024, at 11:42:15 AM Roanoke time.
A highly anticipated astronomical spectacle is approaching as a total solar eclipse will grace the skies over North America on April 8, 2024. This celestial event will be visible across a large swath of the continent, including the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's light. This creates a breathtaking sight as the moon's shadow sweeps across the Earth's surface. The next total solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026, over Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain.
For those in the path of totality, the entire eclipse will be visible, with the moon completely obscuring the sun for a few minutes. Outside the path of totality, a partial solar eclipse will be visible, where the moon covers only a portion of the sun.
