Just one year from now, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America.
NEW YORK — Dust off your eclipse glasses: It's only a year until a total solar eclipse sweeps across North America.
. Then, it'll cross over into Texas and move across parts of the Midwest and Northeast in the afternoon. Total eclipses happen about every 18 months, but a lot of times they cross over remote areas where few people see them.Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes in between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light from reaching us.
During the 2024 eclipse, totality will stretch to around four and a half minutes — almost twice as long as in 2017.To catch the full eclipse experience, planning ahead is key, Duncan said. Weather could be a big factor since the eclipse is coming in the spring, when conditions are unpredictable. That's why Duncan selected Texas for his eclipse tour next year, where there are better odds of clear skies.
