NASA special invitation: Join the total solar eclipse celebration in North America
Get ready for a celestial spectacle as NASA extends a warm invitation to theHT public to witness a total solar eclipse on April 8, painting the skies over North America. This rare event will offer residents in 15 states a mesmerizing view of the Moon completely obscuring the Sun, unveiling the Sun's delicate corona.
"This year's total solar eclipse will be a treat for all in the contiguous United States, making it the most accessible celestial event in a generation," exclaimed Nicola Fox, Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "It's an opportunity for everyone to be part of this captivating alignment of our Earth, Sun, and Moon. Not only will it lead to new scientific discoveries, but it will also be an incredible shared moment of inspiration and awe."
The total solar eclipse will gracefully traverse a narrow band from Texas to Maine, offering a front-row seat to those within its path. Beyond this trajectory, residents in all 48 contiguous U.S. states can catch a glimpse of a partial eclipse, where the Moon partially covers the Sun.

In collaboration with various organizations, local governments, universities, and science centers, NASA is hosting in-person events to engage the public and share the excitement surrounding the solar eclipse. Find details about these events on NASA's eclipse website.
