Join The Associated Press on April 8 at 10:00 a.m. EDT for a total solar eclipse watch party live from Texas with livestreams from Mexico, Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio and New York.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon lines up perfectly between the Earth and the sun, blocking out the sunlight.

The eclipse, which will last almost twice as long than the total solar eclipse in 2017, will start in Mexico and cross into Texas and 14 other U.S. states, before exiting over Canada.

Totality will last the longest over Mexico at 4 minutes and 28 seconds.
