Mexico City, October 15—A total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, visible in three North American countries: Mexico, the United States, and Canada. However, our country will have the best weather conditions for observation, and the duration of the total phase of the eclipse will be longer in Mexico. For this reason, the Mexican scientific community considers this event the Great Mexican Eclipse.
