DURHAM, N.H.–Grab some eclipse glasses and pick a place on the map to experience a unique opportunity to view a total solar eclipse of the sun that will pass across the United States, from coast to coast, on Monday, April 8, 2024. Solar eclipses often happen over oceans or hard to access areas but this one will offer a number of chances to catch a glimpse, 包括新英格兰的几个州，比如新罕布什尔州, Vermont and Maine. The spring eclipse will be a total solar event meaning that the moon will completely block the sun and the sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk. There won’t be another chance to view a total eclipse like this over North America for decades.

The 永利app新版本官网地址 has two astronomy experts who can talk about this once-in-a-lifetime event and topics like why an eclipse happens, 在日食期间不要直视太阳的重要性, what the “line of totality” means and what are some tips and tricks for the best viewing experience.

John Gianforte, director of UNH’s observatory and Extension associate professor of space science education

Always with an eye to the sky, Gianforte is passionate about the moon, the sun and the stars. John teaches astronomy and physics and his field of study is the characterization of exoplanetary systems. His work includes observing and recording transits of exoplanets as they pass in front of their parent stars. 观察日食的专家, he is a frequent guest on the Weather Channel and has traveled around the world to experience some of the most breathtaking solar eclipses.
