Total solar eclipse 2024

The next total solar eclipse will be in August 2026, NASA says. It will be visible in Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and a small area of Portugal.

Another total solar eclipse won’t be visible across the contiguous US again until August 2044.

There will be an annular eclipse much sooner, though, visible in South America, the agency says. That will happen in October 2024. Remember, an annular eclipse is when the moon is near its furthest distance from earth, it won’t cover the entire sun. This creates what looks like a ring around the moon.

NASA says its eclipse forecasts "are accurate to less than a minute in time over a span of hundreds of years."

Totality ended in Newfoundland at 3:46 p.m. ET, marking the end of the total solar eclipse over Canadian soil.

You'll still be able to see a partial solar eclipse — where the moon blocks out just part of the sun — for a while longer, though. The partial solar eclipse continues until 4:47 p.m. ET.

CNN spoke to enthralled people who had gathered on a mountain slope in Stowe, Vermont, after they watched the total solar eclipse.

"I knew it was going to happen, but still, when I saw it, that just completely took my ability to speak away," one man said.

"We're lucky to have an experience like that," another man said.

A third watcher said he would travel to wherever the next total solar eclipse occurs.

"Being able to take your glasses off, and seeing it for the first time was shocking," he added.

After moving across more than a dozen states from Texas to Maine, the total eclipse has now ended for the US.

The path of totality will continue to move over portions of Canada’s New Brunswick and Newfoundland provinces for a few more minutes.

The partial eclipse will continue over the US for just over an hour, ending in Maine at 4:41 p.m. EDT.

Just as people gathered in Stowe, Vermont, to experience the totality of the eclipse, a couple got engaged live on CNN.

The perfectly timed moment happened as the moon completely covered the sun, and the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers for both the couple and rare solar event.

"True love story cemented in the darkness of a total solar eclipse now written in history," CNN's Derek Van Dam noted.

Asked how they planned it and timed it so perfectly, the man who proposed said, "She had no idea it was happening and I had no idea what to do. That's how."

There was more than one eclipse on Monday.

NASA's moon account on X, formerly known as Twitter, had its own digital eclipse on Monday when it blocked NASA's sun account.

"Oops I did it again," NASA's moon account tweeted, as a total solar eclipse made its way across America.

See the moment:

The crowds at Niagara Falls in New York state let out loud screams in excitement as the moon blocked the sun.

Despite the clouds blocking the full view, the crowds got excited and cheered as nighttime descended in the middle of the day for a brief moment.

The temperature had dropped significantly as it got dark, the CNN crew in the area reported.

Clouds may have rolled through the Planetary Society's "Eclipse-O-Rama" event in Fredericksburg, Texas — briefly and intermittently obscuring the mesmerizing spectacle of totality.

But Richard Canedo, who's been a Planetary Society member since 1981, used the overcast skies to his advantage. He used them as a makeshift filter to capture the moment of total eclipse on his handheld camera.

Attendees at the "Eclipse-O-Rama" flocked to peek over his shoulder after totality passed, anxious to see and share the first permanent memento of the breathtaking event that just played out overhead.

The total solar eclipse will soon be visible in some cities in the northern US.

You'll be able to get a full view of the total eclipse in these cities in the following states and cities:
