NEW YORK (AP) – Just one year from now, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America.

The eclipse will slice a diagonal line across 13 states in the U.S., from Texas through Maine.

Events and tours are already scheduled for April 8, 2024, including luxury cruises, music festivals and camping trips.
