Solar Eclipse Timetable: What To Expect On Monday, Wherever You Are
04.04.2024 - 10:37 / forbes.com
The upcoming solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, will enthral skywatchers across North America. The very best views—by far—will be afforded only to those that have traveled into (or live in) the 115 miles wide path of totality that stretches from Mexico to Canada via parts of 15 U.S. states.
Visit Eclipse2024.org to simulate exactly what you'll see from any place in North America, and check your location on Timeanddate for exact timings and a full schedule.
Whether you are in the path of totality, where the sun is completely obscured by the moon, or elsewhere in North America, you can experience some or all of the eclipse’s phenomena.
Here's what to expect during the partial and total solar eclipse and how to safely observe it using solar eclipse glasses and other techniques:
Where: anywhere in North America
How: solar eclipse glasses/solar filtered telescopes and binoculars
The moment when the moon first takes a bite out of the sun is not to be missed.
Where: anywhere in North America
How: solar eclipse glasses/solar filtered telescopes and binoculars
You can watch the dark, cool, magnetically complex regions on the sun's surface being gradually covered by the moon during the eclipse.
Where: anywhere in North America
How: colander, spaghetti spoon, tree canopies
One sight worth looking for is the pinhole projection effect of tiny crescent suns projected onto your surroundings by anything with small defined holes. A kitchen colander or slotted spaghetti spoon works well. So do leaves on trees—look below them!
Where: path of totality only
How: a white sheet (or any uniformly light-colored surface)
A few minutes before the sun becomes totally eclipsed, you may see wavy lines on light-colored surfaces caused by the sliver of photospheric light that travels through Earth’s atmosphere.
Where: path of totality only
How: naked eye
As the eclipse is on the cusp of totality, daylight will fade by 10,000 times, and darkness will fall quickly. This is the moment you realize that you made a great choice coming into the path of totality—for the rest of North America, the eclipse is already over.
Where: path of totality only
How: solar eclipse glasses
In the few seconds before and after totality, you may see Baily’s beads as the last bits of the sun shine through the moon's irregular surface. The final Baily’s bead creates a brief "diamond ring effect" around the moon.
Where: path of totality only
How: naked eye
During totality, the sun's corona and pink-purple chromosphere become visible. You can safely remove your eclipse glasses and look at the corona, which is expected to be spiky and star-like.
Where: path of totality only
How: naked eye/binoculars/telescope
