Everything you need to know before the 2024 solar eclipse
b'
On April 8, a total solar eclipse will be visible on a path that crosses North America, from the west coast of Mexico to the east coast of Canada. In this episode, Molly and co-host Aminah cover all your eclipse essentials: What causes an eclipse? What\\u2019s it like to experience one? How do you watch one safely? (Spoiler alert: Don\\u2019t stare at the sun without special eyewear. Really. Please. Don\\u2019t do it.) Plus, indigenous science educator Nancy Maryboy tells us about Navajo and Cherokee traditions during an eclipse and we\\u2019ll meet Dr. Ralph Chou, a scientist who has seen 29 total solar eclipses. And, of course, a stellar new mystery sound!
