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.

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.
