2024 Eclipse Viewability Interactive Map

Here is cloud cover climatology for the afternoon hours on April 8th. the image on the top shows the average of all years, while the image on the bottom shows only El Nino Years. the current forecast suggests El Nino conditions will be present this winter and may linger into next Spring. this typically leads to a bit more cloud cover across our region in April.

Using observations from different NASA missions, this map shows where the Moonâ€™s shadow will cross the U.S. during the 2023 annular solar eclipse and 2024 total solar eclipse. the map was developed by NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) in collaboration with the NASA Heliophysics Activation team (NASA HEAt), part of NASAâ€™s Science Activation portfolio.

After the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044.

We canâ€™t normally see the corona Ââ€“ the Sunâ€™s outer atmosphere â€“ because the Sunâ€™s surface below it is so much brighter. But during a total solar eclipse, the corona becomes visible, offering unique opportunities to study it.

When the Moon completely blocks the visible surface of the Sun during a total solar eclipse, viewers can remove their eclipse glasses. A total solar eclipse is the only type of solar eclipse where eclipse glasses can be momentarily removed.

When a solar eclipse reach totality , nocturnal wildlife is wakes sometimes wake up , think that itâ€ ™ s nighttime , and non – nocturnal wildlife might think itâ€ ™ s time to head to sleep !
