When is the total solar eclipse?

As New Year's celebrations are left behind, we can focus on the exciting events awaiting us in 2024. 


In 2024, a "total solar eclipse," a rare celestial event that will pass over the world, promises an exciting experience for observers. This rare event will also be observed across a very wide geography.

HOW LONG WILL THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE LAST?

The total solar eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean and pass through 13 states in the USA. Mexico's Pacific coast will be the first witness to this visual feast on April 8 at 11:07 AM.

During the total solar eclipse, because the moon will be very small, it will not be able to completely cover the Sun's disk. Instead, it will only cover the center, leaving a ring of fire at the edges. 

This ring of fire in the sky, which will last for a maximum of 4 minutes and 48 seconds, will be best viewed from the American continent.

WHERE WILL THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE BE VISIBLE?

According to NASA, the path of the eclipse will start in Mexico, enter the US through the state of Texas, and pass through the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. 

After entering the Canadian province of Southern Ontario, the eclipse will pass through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton, ending in Newfoundland.

Following the path of totality, it will arc from Dallas and Indianapolis toward the cities of Montreal, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland in Canada. 

The reason we know all these precise details and more is that we know where the Moon and the Sun will be in the sky at a given time.

WILL THE 2024 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE BE WATCHABLE FROM TURKEY?

The total solar eclipse that will take place on April 8, 2024, will not be observable from Turkey. This eclipse will be observable primarily on the North American continent, and no annular eclipse is expected for Turkey either. 

The next significant solar eclipse that can be watched from Turkey will take place on August 2, 2027, and will be a "partial solar eclipse."

The next total solar eclipse that can be watched from Turkey will take place in 2060.
