On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will be visible across northern Mexico, parts of 15 U.S. states, and southeastern Canada. This eclipse is anticipated to be among the most widely observed, as over 32 million individuals reside within the path of totality—a 115-mile (185-kilometer) wide trajectory across North America where the moon will completely block the sun’s disk.

If you are unable to witness the solar eclipse in person, you can follow the entire event live on Space.com, thanks to NASA. Our live coverage will commence at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT). Additionally, you can stay updated with all the eclipse-related content through our total solar eclipse live blog.

In a total solar eclipse, the moon aligns between Earth and the sun, appearing nearly identical in size to the sun. During the totality phase, which lasts for a few minutes and varies depending on the observer’s location, the moon completely obscures the solar disk.
