On Monday, April 8, 2024, dozens made their way to the Ocean City beach and boardwalk, hoping to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse. Many came prepared with specialized glasses optimal for safe viewing as the sun became partially blocked by the moon. While our region did not lie within the path of totality, it was a rare spectacle that brought millions of people across the continent together.
If you missed Monday’s eclipse, your next chance to see one in the United States will take place on Aug. 23, 2044.
