A map developed using data from a variety of NASA sources shows the total eclipse path as a dark band. Outside this path, purple lines indicate how much of the Sun will become covered by the Moon during the partial eclipse.
This video shows different areas of the map, explaining these and other features that describe what observers across the country can expect to see during the total eclipse.

When watching a partial solar eclipse, you must wear eclipse glasses at all times when looking at the Sun, or use an indirect viewing method. This also applies during a total solar eclipse up until the moment when the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon.During the short time when the Moon completely obscures the Sun – known as the period of totality – it is safe to look directly at the star without eye protection. However, it’s crucial that you know when it’s safe to both remove and put back on your safe solar viewing glasses.To learn more about eclipses visit: science.nasa.gov/eclipses. || ", "release_date": "2023-10-31T10:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-10-31T10:14:48.900246-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 860562, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a014400/a014447/14447_001_IMG_0310_print.jpg", "filename": "14447_001_IMG_0310_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Watching the annular solar eclipse of October 14, 2023, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, through a solar safe telescope.
