Total solar eclipse 2024: How to watch the rare phenomenon

It's not just n historic sky show for Americans in the path of the total eclipse of the sun. "It's a rare sight we haven't seen in seven years," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said.

On April 8th, millions of Americans will put on funny glasses and look to the sky to see a total eclipse of the sun. "As the moon passes in front, in between the Sun and the Earth," Nelson said. While those of us in the path of the eclipse will marvel at the show, as day turns into night, NASA says this is also a serious scientific event.

People in LA barely even know that there's a sun to provide warmth and light let alone what an eclipse is. We barely look away from our phones and screens!
