The total solar eclipse will be visible in North American on April 8th.
On April 8th there will be a solar eclipse with a path of totality that will allow roughly 32 million people across North America to experience the event and for those who happen to not be directly in the path — or aren't able to step outside to enjoy the celestial event — they'll be able to watch it on television.
The special will feature hosts World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC News Live Prime anchor Linsey Davis both reporting live from Burlington, Vermont. They are to be assisted by Nat Geo's Mariana van Zeller and Nat Geo Explorers photographer Cristina Mittermeier as well as astrophotographer Babak Tafreshi and astrophysicists Jedidah Isler and Ved Chirayath.
"This collaboration between Nat Geo and ABC is a dream come true," said Tom McDonald, EVP of unscripted for National Geographic Content."With Nat Geo's 136-year expertise in factual storytelling combined with trusted anchors from the country's leading news source, ABC News, this partnership is unmatched. I can think of no better way to bring this thrilling event to audiences.
