Relive the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

The moon blocks the sun leaving only a slim ring of light as the totality phase of the total solar eclipse begins over Waitsfield, Vermont on April 8, 2024. This phase is the only time when viewers can look at the sun without eye protection. As each second passes, the view gets better and things appear larger as eyes dark adapt.
