In this new Data Story, learners everywhere can view what the eclipse will look like from any location! Speed up or slow down time and watch what happens as the Moon moves in front of the Sun. Catch the ethereal glow of the Sun's corona during totality, and learn why we do not usually see the corona. See what percent of the Sun will be eclipsed where you live. 

Explore historical cloud cover data across the US. Where has it typically been cloudy or clear over the last 20 years? Can this data help you decide where to travel to on April 8, 2024? Check back soon for improved cloud cover data and exploration tools, which will be added in the coming weeks.
