A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon 's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun 's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth 's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. With a magnitude of 1.0566, its longest duration of totality will be of four minutes and 28 seconds near the town of Nazas, Durango, Mexico, and the nearby city of Torreón, Coahuila. This eclipse will be the first total solar eclipse to be visible from Canada since February 26, 1979, the first in Mexico since July 11, 1991, and the first in the U.S. since August 21, 2017. It will be the only total solar eclipse in the 21st century where totality is visible in Mexico, the United States of America, and Canada.

( February 2018 ) Animation of path Totality will be visible in a narrow strip in North America, beginning at the Pacific coast, then ascending in a northeasterly direction through Mexico, the United States, and Canada, before ending in the Atlantic Ocean. Mexico In Mexico, totality will pass through the states of Sinaloa ( including Mazatlán ), Durango ( including Durango and Gómez Palacio ) and Coahuila ( including Torreón, Matamoros, Monclova, Sabinas, Ciudad Acuña and Piedras Negras ). United States In the United States, totality will be visible through the states of Texas ( including parts of San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth and all of Arlington, Dallas, Killeen, Temple, Texarkana, Tyler and Waco ), Oklahoma, Arkansas ( including Hot Springs, Jonesboro, and Little Rock ), Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana ( including Bloomington, Evansville, Indianapolis, Muncie, Terre Haute, and Vincennes ), a very small area of Michigan, Ohio ( including Akron, Dayton, Lima, Roundhead, Toledo, Cleveland, Warren, Newton Falls and Austintown ), Pennsylvania ( including Erie ), Upstate New York ( including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, the Adirondacks, Potsdam, and Plattsburgh ), and northern Vermont ( including Burlington ), New Hampshire, and Maine, with the line of totality going almost directly over the state 's highest point Mount Katahdin. The largest city entirely in the path will be Dallas, Texas. It will be the second total eclipse visible from the central United States in just 7 years, after the eclipse of August 21, 2017. Canada In Canada, the path of totality will pass over parts of Southern Ontario ( including, Leamington, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Kingston and Cornwall ), parts of southern Quebec ( including Montreal, Sherbrooke and the Mont Mégantic Observatory ), central New Brunswick ( including Fredericton and Miramichi ), western Prince Edward Island ( including Tignish and Summerside ), and central Newfoundland ( including Gander and Grand Falls - Windsor ). Then, it will vanish on the eastern Atlantic coast of Newfoundland. ( Some of the Canadian cities listed, such as Hamilton and Montreal, are on an edge of the path of totality. Windsor, London, Toronto and Ottawa lie just north of the path of totality, and Moncton lies just south of it. ) Related eclipses The path of this eclipse will cross the path of the prior total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, with the intersection of the two paths being in southern Illinois, in Makanda, just south of Carbondale. The cities of Benton, Carbondale, Chester, Harrisburg, Marion, and Metropolis in Illinois ; Cape Girardeau, Farmington, and Perryville in Missouri, as well as Paducah, Kentucky, will be within a roughly 9,000 square mile intersection of the paths of totality of both the 2017 and 2024 eclipses, therefore earning the rare distinction of being witness to two total solar eclipses within a span of seven years. Solar eclipses 2022 -- 2025 Each member in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours ( a semester ) at alternating nodes of the Moon 's orbit. show Solar eclipse series sets from 2022 - 2025 Ascending node Descending node 119 April 30, 2022 Partial 124 October 25, 2022 Partial 129 April 20, 2023 Hybrid 134 October 14, 2023 Annular 139 April 8, 2024 Total 144 October 2, 2024 Annular 149 March 29, 2025 Partial 154 September 21, 2025 Partial Saros 139 It is a part of saros series 139, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours, containing 71 events. The series started with partial solar eclipse on May 17, 1501. It contains hybrid eclipses on August 11, 1627 through December 9, 1825 and total eclipses from December 21, 1843 through March 26, 2601. The series ends at member 71 as a partial eclipse on July 3, 2763. Members in the same column are one exeligmos apart and thus occur in the same geographic area. The solar eclipse of June 13, 2132 will be the longest total solar eclipse since July 11, 1991 at 6 minutes, 55 seconds. The longest duration of totality will be produced by member 39 at 7 minutes, 29 seconds on July 16, 2186. This is the longest solar eclipse computed between 4000BC and 6000AD. show Series members 24 -- 39 occur between 1901 and 2100 24 25 26 February 3, 1916 February 14, 1934 February 25, 1952 27 28 29 March 7, 1970 March 18, 1988 March 29, 2006 30 31 32 April 8, 2024 April 20, 2042 April 30, 2060 33 34 35 May 11, 2078 May 22, 2096 June 3, 2114 36 37 38 June 13, 2132 June 25, 2150 July 5, 2168 39 July 16, 2186 Tritos series This eclipse is a part of a tritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135 synodic months ( ≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month ). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month ( period of perigee ), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles ( ≈ 33 years minus 3 months ) come close ( ≈ 434.044 anomalistic months ), so eclipses are similar in these groupings. show Series members between 1901 and 2100 March 17, 1904 ( Saros 128 ) February 14, 1915 ( Saros 129 ) January 14, 1926 ( Saros 130 ) December 13, 1936 ( Saros 131 ) November 12, 1947 ( Saros 132 ) October 12, 1958 ( Saros 133 ) September 11, 1969 ( Saros 134 ) August 10, 1980 ( Saros 135 ) July 11, 1991 ( Saros 136 ) June 10, 2002 ( Saros 137 ) May 10, 2013 ( Saros 138 ) April 8, 2024 ( Saros 139 ) March 9, 2035 ( Saros 140 ) February 5, 2046 ( Saros 141 ) January 5, 2057 ( Saros 142 ) December 6, 2067 ( Saros 143 ) November 4, 2078 ( Saros 144 ) October 4, 2089 ( Saros 145 ) September 4, 2100 ( Saros 146 ) Metonic series The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years ( 6939.69 days ), lasting about 5 cycles.
