These eclipse-themed places will experience totality on April 8, 2024

On April 8, 2024 , a total solar eclipse will take place in parts of 15 U.S. states and dozens of eclipse-themed place names.

Only during the exact moment of totality, when the sun's disk is 100% blocked by the moon, can you look with the naked eye.

At all other times, precautions must be taken. Remember to NEVER look at the sun directly.

There are two places called ' Eclipse ' in the U.S. outside the path of totality.

There are just as many eclipse-related names, with two called Eclipse , one close to Norfolk , Virginia and the other near Houston , Texas .

In Canada , there are also two ' Eclipsa ' places called Eclipse Island .
