It will last 4 minutes, when is the total solar eclipse expected to happen and

A total solar eclipse will cross North America on April 8 this year, passing over Mexico, the US and Canada.

The duration is expected to be 4 minutes and 27 seconds, almost twice as long as the great American eclipse of August 21, 2017.

It is known that in the USA, this event will start in Texas at 13:27 and will end in Maine at 15:35, foreign media write.

Within these territories live over 30 million people who can easily witness this event, while millions more are expected to travel causing a "boom" in traffic.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking part of our star.
