On April 8 , a total solar eclipse will be visible across parts of the U.S. , Mexico , and Canada for the first time since 2017 .
Only one safe time to look directly at the sun is during the brief moment of totality, when the moon entirely blocks the bright surface of our star.
To see totality, you must be within the 115-mile -wide ( 185 kilometers ), 10,000-mile long ( 16,000 km ) path of totality.
