How to View the Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024

A solar eclipse is undeniably one of the most beautiful displays in nature. It is so magnificent that millions of viewers are expected to travel the country to be under the path to see this celestial phenomenon come to life. As the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it forms a shadow and completely blocks the Sunlight.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to watch the upcoming solar eclipse by Hu Greenberg Ph.D.

Understand the Types of Solar Eclipses:

Solar eclipses come in three main varieties: total, partial, and annular. A total eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth and turning day into night briefly. A partial eclipse happens when only a portion of the sun is obscured by the moon, while an annular eclipse occurs when the moon is too far from the Earth to fully cover the sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible around the moon’s silhouette.
