Total Solar Eclipse 2024: Time to Get in Line

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America! It’s going to be a BIG DAY – but whose big day is it?

Earth, Moon, and Sun each want the spotlight, but it takes all three to make a total solar eclipse. Can they get aligned in time for April 8th, or is it going to be every celestial body for themselves?
