April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse: Interview with Larry Wasserman, Wall Observatory on Double Stars, Kuiper Belt and Carl Sagan 

The accessibility of science is very important to Prof. Wasserman, following his teacher, and he is happy for the opportunity to bring many young people, including children, to science on this occasion of a heavenly event that receives public interest

Experiences of the April 8 solar eclipse from the solar eclipse at Baylor University campus in Waco Texas, where the eclipse lasted 4 minutes and 13 seconds, almost the maximum possible
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.

April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Wider Path, Longer Duration, and Increased Solar Activity

Anticipation for the total solar eclipse is building, promising a wider path, longer totality and increased solar activity compared to the previous eclipse in 2017, along with expanded scientific research efforts

"The ghost took the wind of the moon": this is how the residents of the Torres Strait predict eclipses.

Early in the morning a lunar eclipse is visible from Israel. In two weeks, a total solar eclipse will be visible from the US. As eclipse season begins, researchers explain the use of knowledge about them in ancient cultures

When the sun goes dark: 5 questions and answers about solar eclipses

A total solar eclipse will occur today, August 21, across the US. Shannon Schmoll, director of the Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, explains why and how solar eclipses occur, and what we can learn from them.
