I'm very excited to announce that I will be traveling to my Mom's house to witness the Solar Eclipse from her driveway (because it'll be 90% visibility on Long Island).
Millions across the North American continent will be able to witness a total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8. The rarity of the event is such that it last occurred it last occurred in 2017. And the next one won't happen until 2044!
What makes 2024's total solar eclipse special is its path of totality spanning 115 miles across the US, Canada, and Mexico. While the excitement for the rare event is inevitable, it is important to know how to safely watch the eclipse without damaging your eyes.
According to NASA, the only safe moment to watch with the naked eye is "when the mood completely blocks the sun - during the brief period known as totality.
According to timeanddate.com, the eclipse will be visible in Sarasota, Florida, from 1:42 p.m. to 4:13 p.m. ET with max viewing at 2:59 p.m. Monday, April 8, 2024.
