The countdown clock stands at less than one year until large parts of North America are cast in the complete shadow of the moon on April 8, 2024, when the Great North American Solar Eclipse traverses the sky.<\/p>\n
The event only happens when the moon\u2019s orbit is close to Earth, and the celestial body blocks out the view of the sun, creating a shadow on Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n
Solar eclipses happen about twice a year, but finding yourself under the totality of one is rare.<\/p>\n
The American Astronomical Society says that any given spot on the planet only sees temporary darkness from the moon\u2019s shadow once every 400 years.<\/p>\n
The event in 2024 will take place during the afternoon as the eclipse will travel over Mexico, into Texas and 14 other states before exiting through Canada.<\/p>\n
