Total Solar Eclipse to Darken Skies over United States, Mexico, and CanadaThe April 8 total solar eclipse is almost upon us. The event will see the sky over a band of the United States, Mexico, and Canada darken as the moon totally covers the sun along a 115-mile-wide (185 kilometers) and 10,000-mile-long (16,000 km) strip called the path of totality. It will sweep from Texas to Maine, passing over several major cities, including San Antonio, Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo.
