Mark your calendars for April 8, when North America will witness a solar eclipse, visible across most of the continent with varying visibility levels based on location, as per NASA.
Residents fortunate enough to find themselves within the path of totality, stretching from Texas to Maine, will be treated to a total eclipse, while others will witness a partial eclipse.
Comprehensive Live Coverage
NASA has planned several live events as well as online streaming choices to introduce the public to this breathtaking phenomena.
Viewers can anticipate a three-hour live coverage showcasing the eclipse from multiple North American locations, expert insights from NASA personnel, interactions with astronauts aboard the International Space Station, and a glimpse into NASA’s eclipse-related scientific experiments.
For those seeking a commentary-free experience, NASA will provide telescope-only footage of the eclipse on its media channel and YouTube, beginning at 1 pm EDT. This feed will offer views from diverse locations, including Cleveland, Dallas, Niagara Falls, and Mazatlán, Mexico.

Expectations Rise for April’s Solar Eclipse
NASA stresses safety procedures in the middle of the excitement. Using unprotected eyewear to see the eclipse can seriously harm your eyes. As a result, it is advised to use specialist solar filters like ISO 12312-2 compliant solar viewing glasses. Sunglasses with regular frames don’t offer enough protection.
If someone does not have access to eclipse glasses or portable solar viewers, NASA recommends indirect viewing with a pinhole projector. By projecting an image of the Sun onto a nearby surface, this straightforward device allows for safe observation without being in direct sunlight.
For those who prefer to watch online, NASA will begin airing live coverage of the eclipse at 1:00 PM EDT on a number of platforms, including NASA+, NASA TV, and the agency’s website. Captivating vistas of the eclipse, viewpoints from the International Space Station, and insights from NASA professionals are all promised in this program.
Anticipation for this celestial spectacle is growing as the date approaches. The April solar eclipse is expected to enthrall viewers across North America, whether they choose to watch from inside the path of totality or catch glimpses online.
