Total Solar Eclipse 2024

Where will you be?
Are you ready for the celestial event of the decade? On April 8th, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible from parts of North America, making this an incredibly rare and exciting event that shouldn't be missed.

During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, causing the sun to be completely blocked out for a few brief minutes. The sky will darken, stars will appear, and temperatures will drop - it's a truly unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe of the universe.

To witness this incredible spectacle, you'll need to be in the path of totality. The path of totality for the 2024 eclipse will stretch from Texas to Maine, passing through cities like Dallas! Even if you're not in the path of totality, you'll still be able to see a partial eclipse from other parts of North America.

To make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime event, it's important to plan ahead. Make sure you have the right equipment, like solar eclipse glasses or a telescope, and check the weather forecast to ensure clear skies. You can also attend our viewing event, where you'll be able to meet other eclipse enthusiasts and learn more about this incredible event!

Stay tuned for more details on how we are celebrating and get ready for an unforgettable experience. The 2024 total solar eclipse is a must-see event for anyone interested in astronomy, science, or the wonders of the universe!
