Total solar eclipse 2024: How and where to watch online for free

On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will be visible through northern Mexico, parts of 15 U.S. states and southeastern Canada.

It will be one of the most-watched eclipses ever with over 32 million people living within the path of totality — a 115-mile (185-kilometer) wide route through Northern America where the moon will cover 100% of the sun’s disk.

If you cannot witness the solar eclipse in person, you can watch all the action unfold here on Space.com. You can also keep up with all the eclipse content with our total solar eclipse live updates page.

During a total solar eclipse, the moon moves between Earth and the sun, appearing almost exactly the same size as the sun. During totality, the moon blocks the entire solar disk for a few minutes (the duration of totality depends on where you are viewing it from).
