The Upcoming 2024 Total Eclipse

by Dave Weixelman

March 6, 2024

2024 will host the second total solar eclipse in this century that crosses the continental USA. Dave Weixelman will give a talk on the upcoming total solar eclipse that is happening on April 8, 2024. His talk will include why eclipses happen and what is special about this total eclipse. There will be information on what the partial eclipse will look like from the Nevada City area and what to expect if you are in the path of the total eclipse.

Dave has seen 6 total solar eclipses starting with the July 10, 1972 eclipse when he traveled to Nova Scotia just out of high school. Dave is an amateur astronomer interested in eclipses, astrophotography, and comet observing.
