Project Mexico / USA - Total Solar Eclipse - April 2024

After the very short eclipse of 2023, the duration of the 8th April 2024 event offers a quite different experience, with up to four and a half minutes at the mid-point of the track.

​

This solar eclipse begins in the Pacific and the shadow of the Moon reaches land on the west coast of Mexico near Mazatlán, moving inland to reach maximum eclipse duration in an arid desert region north of the city of Torreon.  The eclipse provides a chance for a large part of the US population to observe the event as the shadow moves across the Mexican border near Dallas and then crosses the country to Maine and into Canada at New Brunswick and out into the Atlantic.
