2024 Solar Eclipse Resources

The National Operations Center of Excellence collected resources for the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse.

The eclipse's path of totality crossed 15 U.S. states, from Texas to Maine, including numerous large metropolitan areas. As with the 2017 eclipse, the movement of both residents of the 15 states and incoming tourists will make April 8 into a large scale special event.

NOCoE worked to help share resources and transfer knowledge to the TSMO practitioners planning for the 2024 eclipse. This page will continue to be updated with resources that are collected.

Do you have any learnings from the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse? ? Please share with us any resources, planning documents, or other information useful to your efforts by emailing Adam Hopps at NOCoE.
