Depending on your location, there will be a total solar eclipse on April 8 2024.

Thanks.

I went to Cornwall (UK) to see the 11 Aug 1999 Eclipse with a group of friends.
We all sat on the clifftops of Treyarnon Bay and watched the 100% cloud cover go dark, then light again.
Very frustrating, but was a fun 2 week motorcycling holiday on my old '86 C10 "Sanji".

All we can do is hope for no clouds that day. And don't forget your welding goggles. 8)
I live in NH, so 95 - 100% in shadow. Where will you be?

Here is a different view of the eclipse https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/fulldisk_band.php?sat=G16&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

I saw it today. 80% sun covered here. It was strange- clear sky, sun shining, looked mostly normal, except not as bright and the direct sun was not that hot. The eyes will adjust, making the 80% loss of light barely noticeable.
Used the special filters and it looked like a crescent moon (a co-worker had a safe pair she was letting people look).
Might be the most solar eclipse I ever see in my lifetime.
