North America witnessed a complete solar eclipse on April 8. During this eclipse, the moon moved in front of the sun, cast a shadow, and blocked the sun’s light. This resulted in complete darkness in parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada and a ring-like formation around the sun. The best part is that at least a partial eclipse was witnessed from almost all locations in North America.

It is reported that millions of people gathered at beaches, gardens, and other open areas to witness this total solar eclipse. This was a massive event and the next total solar eclipse on Earth is expected in 2026. This upcoming eclipse will be visible from Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia, and parts of Portugal, with a partial eclipse viewable in Europe, Africa, and North America.
