In the buildup to the April 8 total solar eclipse, researchers set about discovering how often cities experience eclipses and where, if anywhere, on Earth witnesses the most of these events.
We are a planetary scientist and an astronomer who, with funding and support from NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute, have created and published a set of tactile graphics, or graphics with raised and textured elements, on the 2024 total solar eclipse.
NASA is using the total solar eclipse on April 8 to increase public knowledge of science while encouraging safety during what could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
It's time to buy some safe, high-quality eclipse glasses before the April 8 total solar eclipse in North America. Just make sure you're buying from an approved vendor.
