2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Through the Eyes of NASA (Highlights)

On April 8, 2024, North America’s last total solar eclipse until 2045 moved across the continent. It made landfall in Mexico, crossed the United States from Texas to Maine, and departed across Canada’s Atlantic coast. This video offers viewers highlights of the eclipse from NASA’s live commentary. Different vantage points include the International Space Station, WB-57 aircraft, and 12 telescopes stationed across North America. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky darkens as if it were dawn or dusk.
