The 2023 and 2024 Solar Eclipses: A Preview
2023 Solar Eclipse
The 2023 solar eclipse will be a total solar eclipse, meaning that the moon will completely block the sun. The eclipse will begin in Southern Ontario, Canada, and will continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton. The eclipse will reach its maximum point in New Brunswick, where the moon will completely block the sun for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
2024 Solar Eclipse
The 2024 solar eclipse will also be a total solar eclipse. The eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean and will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The eclipse will reach its maximum point in the United States, where the moon will completely block the sun for 4 minutes and 29 seconds.
Both the 2023 and 2024 solar eclipses will be visible to millions of people across North America. NASA has released a map showing the paths of the two eclipses.
If you are planning to view either of these eclipses, be sure to take precautions to protect your eyes. Looking directly at the sun can cause serious damage to your eyesight. Solar eclipse glasses are available for purchase online and at many retail stores.
