“If you haven’t seen a total solar eclipse, you haven’t seen anything.” So ends NASA’s new trailer for what is arguably the celestial highlight not only of 2024 but of the entire decade—and possibly many Americans’ lifetimes.
NASA is correct—it’s the sight of your life, and it’s not going to return to North America until 2033 (in Alaska) and 2044 (in Montana and the Dakotas).
Publicizing its plans to broadcast April’s total solar eclipse from locations across the U.S., the space agency’s short trailer on YouTube is high on drama.
Shadow Of The Moon
On Monday, April 8, a path of totality—the moon’s shadow—will travel from Mexico’s Pacific coast to Newfoundland in Canada via parts of 15 U.S. states.
While only those inside a 115-mile wide path will see the eclipse and experience totality—darkness in the day and falling temperatures, everyone else in North America will see a partial solar eclipse of varying degrees.
