The April total solar eclipse will be seen on April 8th 2024, in many parts of the world, including North America. It will be seen in the afternoon hours, around 2-4 pm EST. It happens when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun’s light. This doesn’t happen all the time because everything has to line up perfectly.

What is a Total Solar Eclipse?
A total solar eclipse is when the Moon gets right in front of the Sun from where we are on Earth, making it look like the Sun disappears. It’s a bit like when something blocks a light, and you see a shadow.
How to Watch The April total solar eclipse Safely
You should never look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse, because it can hurt your eyes. You need special glasses or special filters for your telescope or camera to watch it safely.
Why It’s Important
Scientists really like total solar eclipses because they can learn a lot about the Sun. By studying the Sun’s outer atmosphere during an eclipse, they can find out more about its temperature and behavior. This helps them predict space weather, which is important for things like satellites and space travel.
I am planning to watch it too, because I was born on a day of a sun eclipse, and I feel for some reason that I must watch it. So I’ll be watching on the YouTube. I forgot to buy the safety glasses. But they were available in queens public library. But because of high demand, queens public library ran out of them.
Concluding words
A total solar eclipse is a cool thing to see. It’s not something you see every day, so when you get the chance, make sure to watch it safely. It’s not just cool to look at; it also helps scientists learn more about the Sun, which is pretty neat.
Make sure you comment below if you’re watching too or you bought your safety glasses and will be watching with them on 😀
