Today is the day of the April 2024 solar eclipse, a rare opportunity to witness one of the most spectacular shows in the solar system. And if you want to make a record of the moment for yourself, we can help you use your smartphone to get the best possible shot of the moon crossing in front of the sun.
As the guide from our friends at Space.com explains, there's at least a partial eclipse to see in all 48 mainland states between 12:27 pm and 3:46 pm EDT today, with the best view — the "path of totality" — on offer in a diagonal line passing from the south to the north east of the country, where the sun will be completely blocked for a few moments.
