Days since the Eclipse.

Here comes the Great North American Solar Eclipse! On Monday, April 8, 2024, the Moon's 115-mile-wide dark shadow will sweep from Mexico to Eastern Canada, traversing the U.S. from Texas to Maine in the process. Virtually all of North America will have at least a partial solar eclipse that day. If you can get into the path of totality, where the Moon completely blocks the Sun's bright face, you won't regret it!
