Massive solar eclipse 2024 to show in US after 100 years, how is it different

The upcoming solar eclipse of 2024 is set to dominate the skies of the United States next month. As the moon completely obscures the sun’s face, casting a temporary darkness akin to dusk or dawn, enthusiasts are gearing up for what is deemed the longest and most visible eclipse in the US in a century. Road trips to prime viewing locations are being organized, with the eclipse predicted to last for approximately four minutes starting at 1:52 pm on April 8th, Monday, according to Nassau. However, potential cloud cover or rain poses a risk to visibility. AccuWeather’s meteorologists have released an early viewing forecast spanning from Texas to Maine, indicating optimal viewing conditions in areas such as Southern Texas, the Ohio Valley, and the Great Lakes region. Major cities including Dallas, Cleveland, and Toronto lie in the path of totality. Safety remains paramount during the event, as cautioned by Nasa, emphasizing the importance of using specialized eye protection for solar viewing.
