New Delhi: The first solar eclipse of 2024 is set to occur on Monday, April 8.
According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) US, this total Solar Eclipse will sweep across the continent of North America, traversing through Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
However, Mexico will be the first to witness this celestial event, particularly in areas along the Pacific coast. The Eclipse is expected to commence around 11:07 am local time.
Tens of millions living along a narrow stretch from Mexico Pacific coast to eastern Canada, can watch the first solar eclipse of this year on April 8, when most of North America will plunge into darkness for a few minutes.
But this first Solar Eclipse will not be visible from India.
The next total solar eclipse will happen in 2044.
