- Here are the best locations, cities, and times to watch the total solar eclipse on April 8.
A total solar eclipse is crossing the US on April 8, 2024, giving more than 30 million people the rare opportunity to watch the moon obscure the sun and darken the skies.
That’s just the people who live in the eclipse’s path. Countless others can see it just by driving an hour or two, or taking a short flight.
To see totality — the moment when the moon fully blocks the sun — you need to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.
Luckily, NASA made a map to pinpoint just where you should be, and when you should be there.
