Source- NY Times:<\/strong> On April 8, North America will experience its second total solar eclipse in seven years. The moon will glide over the surface of our sun, casting a shadow over a swath of Earth below. Along this path, the world will turn dark as night.<\/p>

Outside the path of totality,\u00a0in a vast area covering most of North America (except for a small part of Yukon and most of Alaska), Central America, and the Caribbean, as well as Greenland and Iceland, we\u2019ll be able to observe a\u00a0partial<\/em>\u00a0eclipse of the Sun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skywatchers in Mexico will be the first to see the eclipse on the mainland. From there, the show will slide north, entering the United States through Texas, then proceeding northeast before concluding for most people off the coast of Canada.<\/p>
