On April 8, a captivating total solar eclipse will grace the United States, with the Moon’s shadow moving from Texas to Maine. While the eclipse itself won’t be visible from every part of the country, those fortunate enough to witness it will experience a breathtaking sight. Additionally, the Sun will be nearing its maximum in its 11-year cycle, resulting in a potentially more spectacular corona display.
Observe Neighboring Planets
As the eclipse unfolds, keep an eye out for neighboring planets. Bright Jupiter will be positioned to the upper left of the eclipse, accompanied by Venus, Saturn, and Mars to the lower right.
