The total solar eclipse will happen April 8.
The path of totality stretches from Texas to Maine and covers more than a dozen states with about a 100-mile width. Many of these states are preparing for the influx of tourists.
Dallas is the biggest city in the path.
Experts say the southern end of the path has the best chances for good viewing, given the usually sunny weather.
A partial eclipse will be visible from all contiguous 48 states.
Make sure you have the proper eyewear if you plan on viewing the solar eclipse.
After April’s total solar eclipse, the next one that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be in August 2044, according to NASA.
