NASA has also created a helpful interactive map for tracking the eclipse across the U.S. You can see the entire path of annularity including start and end times for different stages of the eclipse at each location in this interactive map created by French eclipse expert Xavier Jubier.

It's a sight to behold, whatever the level of solar activity, but the latest predictions have the sun reaching the peak of its current cycle in 2024, the corona now looks set to be at its largest and spikiest just in time for totality. At all other times, precautions need to be taken. Only during the exact moment of totality, when the moon completely obscures the sun can you look with the naked eye. Only those within a 125-mile (200 km) wide path of totality can glimpse the sun's corona - its hotter outer atmosphere - with their naked eyes during totality.
