Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024!

"A total solar eclipse took place on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible across North America and dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by some media.  A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs only in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide." (WIKIPEDIA)
