Get ready for the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024! Everyone in the 48 contiguous United States will be treated to a PARTIAL solar eclipse. The percentage of the Sun that is covered by the Moon's shadow depends on your location on the map. Observers on the "100% line" of the map will experience a TOTAL solar eclipse. Celebrate this solar eclipse safely by making either your own 2D Paper Cut or 3D Printed Pinhole Projector. To learn more about eclipses explore go.nasa.gov/Eclipses
