CBS News: “The next time it happens won’t be until 2317. DALLAS — The total solar eclipse passing directly over Dallas on Monday, April 8, is very much a once-in-a-lifetime event. The last time North Texas was in the direct path of a total solar eclipse was 1878, and the next time won’t be until 2317.”
“The total eclipse will first appear along Mexico’s Pacific Coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT, then travel across a swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, and into Canada. About 31.6 million people live in the path of totality, the area where the moon will fully block out the sun, according to NASA.”
KHOU: “According to Bradley, the 2024 solar eclipse will be the “most watched solar eclipse in history due to the many large cities it’ll pass through. Also, it’ll be the last total solar eclipse across the United States for 20 years.”
