Holiday
Our next solar eclipse takes place on April 8, 2024. This year, we are in path of totality for the solar eclipse. This means the sky will go dark for a few minutes as the moon covers the sun during the day. On this day, we can use very special glasses to look at the sun. Remember: only look if you have a grown-up with you and eclipse glasses. Check out the video below to learn more about solar eclipses from NASA.
