CBS reports that the next solar eclipse will be the last chance for residents of the United States to witness the event for decades to come.<br />On April 8, 2024, the moon will completely block out the sun over Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.<br />According to NASA, it will be the last solar eclipse visible from the U.S. until August of 2044.<br />CBS reports that the last time a total solar eclipse was visible in the U.S. was in August of 2017.<br />That solar eclipse was the first of its kind in almost 100 years.<br />While these types of eclipses occur every one to three years, they are typically only visible from <br />Earth's poles or from the middle of the ocean.<br />The 2024 full eclipse will not be visible from coast-to-coast, but it will be visible over a dozen states, including Texas, New York and Pennsylvania.<br />CBS reports that states not in the path of totality will still experience a partial solar eclipse.<br />"During totality, take a few seconds to observe the world around you. You may be able to see a 360 degree sunset. You may also be able to see some particularly bright stars or planets in the darkened sky." NASA, via CBS
