An astronomical extravaganza is likely to enthrall skywatchers on April 8, when a total solar eclipse will transform day into darkness across North America. Total eclipses are stunning and darken the sky, but they can only be seen from a few sites. This is why seeing an eclipse is frequently described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

What is a solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomena in which the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun’s light completely or partially.

When the moon totally eclipses the sun, it throws a shadow on Earth, creating a “path of totality.” This path is a small band that travels across the surface. People standing inside this ring can see a total solar eclipse if the weather and clouds coincide. The sky will darken as if it were day or dusk along the path of totality, where the Moon totally covers the Sun.

Unless they are on the path of totality, they will only observe a partial eclipse. The sky will appear slightly darker to them after the eclipse, depending on how much the Moon blocks the Sun in their position.

Total Solar Eclipse Date and Timing:

The total solar eclipse of 2024 will take place on April 8. The total darkening of the sky, commonly known as totality, will be visible throughout a 185-kilometer area between Mexico, the United States and Canada. It will be shown in up to 18 different states in the United States. However, skywatchers in India would be unable to see it.

According to Indian Standard Time (IST), the total solar eclipse will begin at 9:12 p.m. on April 8, totality at 10:08 p.m., and terminate at 2:22 a.m. on April 9, 2024. Totality will initially occur on the Pacific coast of Mexico at 11:07 a.m. PDT, and it will exit Maine about 1:30 p.m. PDT.

Duration of the Total Solar Eclipse

Although totality will only persist for around four minutes, the entire process will take roughly two and a half hours. According to NASA, during the period of complete darkness, the greatest spectacle might endure up to 4 minutes and 27 seconds.

“The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017,” states that “the duration of totality will be up to 4 minutes and 27 seconds, almost double that.” The length of totality for most locations along the centerline (path of totality) will be between 3.5 and 4 minutes.

How Can I Watch the Eclipse Safely?

The brightness of the Sun’s surface is so great that staring at even a little fraction of it can cause individual retinal cells to be damaged. During its partial stages, skywatchers worldwide are encouraged to wear protective eyewear, such as authorized eclipse glasses. If you don’t, you risk burning the retinas of your eyes, causing irreversible damage or maybe blindness.

How Can I Watch a Total Solar Eclipse Online?

If you are unable to see the solar eclipse in person, you may watch the live feed from NASA. Beginning on April 8 at 5:00 p.m. GMT (10:30 p.m. IST), the space agency will broadcast live till 8:00 p.m. GMT (1:30 a.m. IST).

In addition, NASA will be conducting expert chats and offering telescopic views of the eclipse from several locations along the eclipse path during the program.

Additionally, you may see the live broadcast that the McDonald Observatory in Texas is hosting. On April 8, at 4:30 p.m. GMT (10:00 p.m. IST), the skywatching website timeanddate.com will also broadcast live coverage of the total solar eclipse on its YouTube page.

Crypto horoscope for April 1 7 (2)

fresh week, fresh crypto horoscope for April 1st–7th.

This week will be marked by two transits.

  • Mercury retrograde in Aries begins on Monday, January 4th;
  • Venus enters Aries on Friday, May 4.

For several months, we have dedicated space to the crypto horoscope authored by Stefania Stimolo, an astrology and blockchain specialist. It is a weekly section with the horoscope for each zodiac sign that appears every Sunday on The Cryptonomist.

With this entertainment column, we intended to go deeper into the matter, sarcastically speaking, as part of our tagline “We Tell the Future”.

The Crypto Horoscope

Crypto horoscope for April 1 to 7 

We call it a crypto horoscope since it is based on business lingo.

Words like NFT, metaverse, and Over-The-Counter are used to describe actions and events, as well as trading language like bullish, bull run, bear market, or dump to define the attitude of each zodiac sign throughout the week.

Obviously, the renowned to-the-moon symbol must be present to express the tone of that sign!

In general, you may experience a time of “hard-fork,” also known as a “inner split,” or pass your lightning torch to the next zodiac sign, indicating that the Sun is moving into that sign.

Alternatively, you should consider specific cases where the planet is in discord with the zodiac sign, known as “verification.” Furthermore, with each new change of guard of the Sun across the constellations of the zodiac, the roadmap of each sign will take a new stride.

Obviously, no investing advice is offered; instead, it is purely for pleasure, just like any other horoscope. It must be noted that many newcomers to the industry have mastered the specialized crypto vocabulary owing to the horoscope on The Cryptonomist.

“Do not Trust, Verify”

Astrology is not a precise science, but it does attempt to foretell the future in its own manner. So why not include the traditional blockchain motto “Don’t Trust, Verify” here as well?

In reality, the author wishes to provide her interpretation of the planetary transits that occur during the week, detailing the reactions of each zodiac sign in accordance with the “logic” of conventional astrology.

Astrology enthusiasts may keep up to date by simply monitoring the weekly transits that are communicated and impact us in some way. Whether it’s Mercury Retrograde or the Full Moon.

Others, on the other hand, might go to the dedicated website, which is updated every Sunday, and read the horoscope for their zodiac sign, rising sign, or, why not, the horoscope of friends and loved ones.

So, don’t waste time and click here to see your weekly horoscope!
