The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 is one of the year’s most significant astronomical events.

Observers from the U.S. and Mexico, and Canada will have the chance to witness this event and we here in the Miami Valley are in prime position to view this phenomenon.

What is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and completely blocks the view of the solar disc. During a total eclipse we can see the Sun’s corona (the outer atmosphere). Why is the total solar eclipse 2024 special?

Over 600,000,000 watchers
The total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, will be visible over North America (that’s why the event is also known as the Great Northern American Eclipse). About 652,000,000 people living in the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries will be able to see at least a partial eclipse, and 438,000,000 of them will be within the totality path.

Big Corona
Like the Moon, the Sun has cycles. A solar cycle lasts 11 years, during which time the Sun’s activity (number and size of sunspots, level of solar radiation, solar flares and coronal loops) varies. The total solar eclipse of 2024 falls during the maximum activity period, so the Sun’s corona (the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere) during the totality is expected to be huge.

Bright comet and planets in the sky
During the eclipse, observers can see comet 12P/Pons-Brooks at 27° from the Sun. The comet may be bright enough to be visible to the naked eye (its apparent magnitude will be around 4), but the sunlight might obstruct the view. Planets Venus and Jupiter will also be in the sky along the eclipsed Sun. You can easily spot all these objects with the help of a stargazing app.
