How Americans in the solar eclipse's path of totality plan to celebrate the celestial event on April 8, 2024

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible from Mexico, the U.S. and Canada. 

Americans in the path of totality, which will cross the mainland from Texas through Maine, will experience a few minutes of night-like darkness in the middle of the day — and for that brief time, some have planned once-in-a-lifetime moments.
