Spectators across three countries await the rare total solar eclipse on April 8.

  • Total solar eclipse occurs when the moon fully covers the sun, creating the path of totality.
  • Viewers in the path of totality can witness the sun's corona, while others see a partial eclipse.
  • Eclipse begins over the South Pacific, reaching Mexico's Pacific coast before entering the United States.
  • Witness distinct stages of the eclipse: partial phase, Baily’s Beads, and diamond ring phase.
  • Ensure safety during viewing by using specialized eye protection to avoid eye injury.
