Millions await spectacular solar eclipse across North America
A solar eclipse is poised to grace the skies over North America, stretching from the Pacific coast of Mexico to the eastern shores of Newfoundland, Canada.
Scheduled for Monday, April 8, this celestial spectacle will cast its shadow over an estimated 180 million people along its path.
The eclipse’s journey will traverse 15 U.S. states, promising a breathtaking display as the moon passes between the Earth and the sun.
Among the fortunate witnesses will be residents of New York City, who can anticipate the event shortly after 2 p.m. local time.
A highlight of this eclipse is the anticipation of a significant solar phenomenon – a coronal mass ejection.

While offering a dazzling display, such events also raise awareness about potential impacts on space weather and technological infrastructure.
However, as awe-inspiring as these events are, experts caution against direct viewing of the sun without proper protection.
To safeguard against eye damage, viewers are strongly advised to employ specialized eyewear such as eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewers, particularly during the partial phases of the eclipse before and after totality.
This event marks a crucial reminder of the importance of safety protocols during celestial observations, ensuring that the wonder of the cosmos can be appreciated without risking harm.
For those who miss this event, fret not. The next total solar eclipse is slated for August 12, 2026.
While its path will not stretch over North America, it promises an equally captivating experience for observers in Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and a small segment of Portugal.

Violence erupts in The Hague as police clash with anti-migration protesters, leading to arrests and injuries ahead of elections.
Violence broke out in The Hague as Dutch police deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of anti migration demonstrators. The protest, organised by a right wing activist just weeks before a national election, turned chaotic with thirty people arrested and two officers injured.
Protesters waved Dutch flags and far right symbols while clashing with authorities, throwing rocks and bottles. A police car was set alight, a highway was blocked, and the headquarters of the centre left D66 party was vandalised, with its leader condemning the destruction as an attack on democracy.
Far right leader Geert Wilders, who currently leads in opinion polls, condemned the violence despite being invited to attend.
