Explore the spectacular cosmic phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. In April 2024, the Moon’s shadow is sweeping from Texas to Maine, as the U.S. witnesses its last total solar eclipse until 2044. This extraordinary astronomical event is plunging locations in the path of totality into darkness for more than four minutes - nearly twice as long as the last American eclipse in 2017. Learn how to watch an eclipse safely and follow scientists as they work to unlock secrets of our Sun - from why its atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its surface, to what causes solar storms and how we might one day predict them.

Everyone I talked to afterward pretty much begged me to go see the total eclipse in April if I liked what I'd just seen. They were really great at convincing a little college kid like me!

I remember my son (9 at the time) describing the one in 2017 when it was happening as “like putting on a pair of dark pair of sunglasses when it’s really sunny … the light isn’t like when the sun sets or rises” - we didn’t have totality, but the same amount as you around 95-97% coverage, which was enough to see the outdoor thermometer drop a couple of degrees. It was like a slightly desaturated filter that was applied in real life. He’s so excited that he gets to see it happen again so soon.

I have seen two eclipses. The first was in the 1980s in Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was clouded over, and it's definitely not the same. Then I traveled to Idaho and was lucky that our location was clear of smoke. It was amazing and well worth the trip. I had two cameras, one connected to a telescope, with solar filters. I got some amazing photos as well.

I never thought I would live to see this day. At 81 years of age as a science enthusiast I welcome all this knowledge. I love Earth and her science. I wish I had more access to all of this. Living in AZ I wont be able to experience this eclipse. But I was alive.

How can anybody question the existence of Creation after so many extraordinarily unique and spectacular circumstances, that of which IS life? How can something so finely tuned in every direction and thought be a random chance? It is undeniable how orchestrated our experience is. I can't help but intercede for anybody whom disagrees with the design.

@@gives_bad_advice dude you're not following me. Let me guide you down my path. Come on, let's go. The size of each the Sun and Moon, along with the distance of both bodies from both each other and Earth, all of these measurements equal what people on this planet know as a solar eclipse. Not every system out there has this spectacle. Pretty sure we know of exactly zero other eclipses like our eclipse. And the moon is getting further away and if everything stays in tact, that means eventually no more total solar eclipse. It's a window to something that is out of his world. Something that no other celestial body in the entire universe may ever get to witness. But I guess it's just a random one of kind window to a random one of kind event that random one of a kind planet with random one of kind life get to experience. Now did I lose you, or are you following? I don't know how much better of a path I can make.

I am so glad the clouds moved and you were able to view the Eclipse Totality. It was a stunning site to behold. I & many others were able to get fabulous pictures & videos of the event. If you are interested in our town, check out my waterfront property at 131, 133, 135 & 137 Lake Simond Road, Tupper Lake, NY. Escape the city. Come up to live in peace, view the stars & enjoy nature's splendor. I hope you all have safe journeys home. Wishing You Blessings & Wonderful Adirondack Memories, Carol King

Mobility is key. If your cloud forecast is bad, get somewhere else. In 2017, I planned to see it in Carbondale, IL. The forecast was not good, so I didn't want to risk it. I drove into Kentucky with open blue skies and saw this amazing event. It is worth every hour of driving to get into a better position. Don't settle. This event won't be in your backyard for another 20 years.

I saw this 4/8 eclipse from the path of totality and it was so incredible. I was shaking with excitement and relief, having waited 7 years since the last one and surrounded by clouds that thankfully never came close to where I was. For 4 minutes and 3 seconds I got to look into the eye of the universe and it was magnificent. I even got to see a solar flare with my naked eye. Just so beautiful, my god, what an experience.

Got my gear ready (4 cameras, three tripods, one telescope and a car) and am looking forward to recording this in slow motion. I sure hope that not only the clouds but also the cops don’t cause me any trouble. They can pull me over on the way home.😅
