| | | Welcome. We're here with a special edition all about the solar eclipse. (Don't worry, we'll be back with the regularly scheduled Climate Coach newsletter Tuesday.) On Monday, afternoon will morph into night for about four minutes from northern Mexico to New England. The air will suddenly become colder by around 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Birds and insects will fall silent in the darkness. Confused plants will ramp down their food production. Nocturnal animals, like owls and bats, will begin to stir. Here's a moment-by-moment countdown of what will happen during the eclipse. And here's everything else you need to know. | |
| This eclipse will travel from northern Mexico through Texas, New England and to the North Atlantic — passing through many major population centers. Cities in at least a dozen U.S. states will fall directly in the moon's shadow, known as the path of totality. The path is roughly 115 miles wide. While a total eclipse is the main event, cities located on the outskirts of the path of totality will see the moon only somewhat cover the sun to create a partial eclipse. All locations in the path of totality will also see a partial eclipse as the moon crosses the sun. Read more: | By Szu Yu Chen, Carson TerBush and N. Kirkpatrick | | | | |
| It's dangerous to view the sun with a naked eye — you'll need special glasses for the total solar eclipse in April. But watch out for fakes. If you want to capture the magic of the moment, check out our guide for photographing the eclipse with your phone. Read more: ADVICE By Chris Velazco and William Neff | | | | |
| A cloudy forecast could spoil what many say is an incomparable experience. The United States won't have another total solar eclipse until 2044. Read more: By Ian Livingston, Lauren Tierney and Jason Samenow | | | | |
| You know what will really complete your eclipse prep? An eclipse playlist. Ours is broken up into sections, starting with a sunlight, then focusing on darkness, then a bunch of songs about the moon before finishing, once again, with the light!
