A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun, as seen from Earth. Totality during such an eclipse can only be seen from a limited area, shaped like a narrow belt, usually about 160 km (100 mi) wide and 16,000 km (10,000 mi) long. Areas outside this track may be able to see a partial eclipse of the Sun.

Looking at a solar eclipse without any protective eyewear can severely harm your eyes. The only way to safely watch a solar eclipse is to wear protective eclipse glasses or project an image of the eclipsed Sun using a DIY Pinhole Projector.

The Rochester area is preparing for a massive number of visitors, traveling here to get a better view of the 2024 total solar eclipse.

"On April 8, 2024, the greater Rochester region will get to experience a total solar eclipse for the first time since 1925," said Debra Ross, who chairs Rochester's task force for the eclipse. "We’re expecting hundreds and thousands of visitors to this region on this day. There won’t be another one in the continental US, another major one, for 21 years, and not another one coming through Rochester, for another 120 years."
