Click here for an eclipse map for the April 8, 2024 event. You can click on your location
(or enter the latitude and longitude in a form) to find out if and when you can see the eclipse there. This is a total eclipse along the central path and a partial eclipse elsewhere.
Only part of this eclipse can be seen with the naked eye. Use solar filters made specifically for safe viewing of the sun during the partial phase, which is all you get from most of the
visibility area. Don't trust dark sunglasses or other filters not made specifically for direct solar viewing.
