The 2024 total solar eclipse will be visible across North America on April 8th, 2024. Weather permitting, the first location to experience totality will be on Mexico’s Pacific coast at around 11:07 am PDT. The eclipse will then travel northeast across the United States, from Texas to Maine, with totality lasting for up to several minutes in different locations.
Citizen Continental-America Telescope Eclipse (CATE 2024) is a project that will use a network of telescopes to observe the Sun’s corona during the eclipse. Our RSL team at the University at Buffalo has been selected to lead one of the CATE sites (See the location of the sites here). We are inviting citizen scientists to join our team as observers!
