This map illustrates the paths of the moon's shadow across the US during the 2024 total solar eclipse. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North and Central America and create a total path. During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely blocks the sun as it passes between the sun to Earth. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk, and those standing in the total eclipse path may see the Sun's outer atmosphere (corona) if the weather permits.

Using the high-altitude research plane WB-57, in one of the projects they will photograph the eclipse from a height of 15 km from the ground. The team hopes that taking the pictures above most of the atmosphere of the country will make it possible to see new details of structures in the middle and lower corona

Composite image of WB-57F aircraft and eclipse. During the solar eclipse, members of a NASA-funded team of scientists will track the Sun's corona using telescopes mounted on two NASA WB-57F research aircraft. This vantage point provides clear advantages over ground-based observations, as demonstrated in this composite image of the aircraft against the backdrop of the 2015 heat wave in the Faroe Islands.

The color and brightness of the moon can change sharply from one eclipse to the next, depending on the amount of volcanic ash in the atmosphere. The dungeon scale, which rates the lunar eclipses from zero to four, will help you viewers gauge the appearance of the moon during the eclipse tonight. Credit / Photo illustration: Bob King
