Solar Eclipse on April 8: All you need to know about the rare celestial spectacle

The upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 will offer a rare glimpse into the sun's grandeur, including dark-pink prominences and potential enormous explosions. Observers in North America are expected to witness spectacular celestial events, such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares, during seconds to minutes of totality. Efforts like the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (CATE 2024) project aim to extend the observation period, allowing for a more prolonged study of these transient solar phenomena.
