Contents Notes |
Getting a Feel for Eclipses, 2023 & 2024 explains the details surrounding the October 14, 2023 and April 8, 2024 eclipses. The paths of these eclipses travel over some significant cities across the U.S. and will be partially visible for the entire lower 48. To commemorate these events, we have created a tactile guide similar to the one created for the 2017 Great American Eclipse. Tactile graphics provide an illustration of the interaction and alignment of the sun with the moon and the earth. -- Book description from website sservi.nasa.gov/books/eclipses.html |
