On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, entering Mexico, passing over the United States, and exiting from Canada. 

Although the Sunshine State is not in the direct path of the total solar eclipse, viewers in Florida will be able to witness a partial solar eclipse.

Partial or annular solar eclipses are different from total solar eclipses – there is no period of totality when the Moon completely blocks the Sun's bright face. Therefore, during partial or annular solar eclipses, it is never safe to look directly at the eclipse without proper eye protection.

When watching a partial or annular solar eclipse directly with your eyes, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times.
