The year 2024 is set to be an exciting one for astronomy enthusiasts, with two major celestial events on the horizon: the total solar eclipse and Comet Diablo (12P/Pons-Brooks). These events are highly anticipated by the scientific community and will be visible in three North American countries – Mexico, the United States, and Canada – thanks to their diagonal trajectory, confirmed by NASA.
For those unable to witness these events in person, Time and Date, a website founded by Steffen Thorsen in 1998, is offering a free live broadcast on their official YouTube channel. The website specializes in providing information on time zones, meteorological data, and astronomical events related to the Moon and the Sun.
On Monday, April 8, Time and Date will have a team of experts in Mazatlán, Mexico, and Texas, United States, to stream the total solar eclipse live on YouTube. This broadcast will also include views of Comet Diablo passing through the skies of North America.
