North America gets ready for an amazing total solar eclipse that will travel across the continent.

A total solar eclipse will happen on Monday, crossing from Mexico into the US and then Canada. This eclipse will last longer than the one in 2017 and will be visible to many more people.

The moon will completely block the sun for a few minutes, creating a total eclipse for people in its path. Millions of people live within the path of totality, making this the biggest eclipse crowd ever in North America.

The eclipse will follow a diagonal path from Mexico to Canada, passing over major cities in the US. During the eclipse, people might be able to see planets like Jupiter and Venus, and even a comet.

This is the first total solar eclipse in the US since 2017, when a 'ring of fire' eclipse also occurred. The next total solar eclipse visible in the US will be in 2033, but other parts of the world will see them sooner.

Future eclipses will occur in 2044 and 2045, with the latter offering another coast-to-coast view across the US. These events provide a rare opportunity to observe the celestial phenomenon of a total solar eclipse.
