The 2024 solar eclipse begins in the city of Kerrville, Texas, which is in the path of complete totality for the astronomical phenomenon. The maximum extent of the Moon's shadow will land on Mexico's Pacific coast at 11:07 am local time (1807 GMT), then speed northeast across a 15-state swath of the United States and on to Canada, exiting the continent over Newfoundland just under an hour-and-a-half later. The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from a large part of North America won't come around until 2044. IMAGES
