1:00Now PlayingA total solar eclipse crossed North America today, slicing a diagonal line from the southwest to the northeast, briefly plunging communities in Mexico, the U.S. and Canada along the track into darkness.
The city of Mazatlan in western Mexico became the first North American community to experience the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8. Footage of the moment was broadcast live by NASA, who told people in Mazatlan they could safely remove their protective eclipse-viewing glasses during the four-minute eclipse.
Full solar eclipses occur every year or two or three, but they are often in places where almost no one can see them — over the Pacific Ocean or Antarctica. The next total solar eclipse, in 2026, will grace the northern fringes of Greenland, Iceland and Spain. Another sweeps across northern Africa in 2027.
North America won’t experience totality again until 2033, but only in Alaska. That’s it until 2044, when totality will be confined to western Canada, Montana and North Dakota. The next big one for the U.S. is in 2045. That one will stretch from Northern California all the way to Cape Canaveral, Florida.
