On April 8th, 2024, there will be a total solar eclipse visible in parts of Canada and the United States! Below is a map from planetary.org showing the path.

If you are in the path of the eclipse, do not look directly at the sun, even while it's blocked by the moon– looking directly at the sun (at all, but especially during an eclipse) can cause severe damage to your eyes. You can get filters/eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for solar viewing, or you can easily make your own pinhole camera to view it indirectly!
Sunglasses are NOT adequate protection. Do not look at the sun through a pinhole camera, binoculars, telescopes, or any other device unless that device is equipped with a solar filter meeting the international safety standard. When in doubt, protect your eyes– indirect viewing methods are safest.

Gonna throw out something crazy. See what sticks. Maybe nothing, hopefully something:

In about 3 months, the US is getting a total solar eclipse. I am a Librarian at a Public Library hosting an event.
Now, I KNOW every corner of the globe has mythology on this very cool astrological event. Many with neat monsters/creatures to go with. It is difficult to find images of said creatures. Sometimes even difficult to find the mythology from various parts of the world. Almost impossible to find coloring pages.
I live in a tiny town, and I am doing everything I can to expand the horizons of the kiddos who live here, and they go bananas for a good story out loud, especially if they have something to do with their hands while listening, like pictures to color in.
I call on the artists of the internet. If you know of a myth about Solar Eclipse, please add on to this post. Tell me the basic myth, tell me the country/culture of origin, and please please please, add a cool picture I can turn into a coloring page. Artist names will be left on pictures for admirers to go look them up, and I hope artists see this as a fun challenge.
I don’t even know if Tumbler in English language has that much of an international presence but… 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here’s hoping.

The moon casts a shadow over Australia during a total solar eclipse, as the Earth rises over the moon's horizon. Days before Japan's Hakuto-R lunar lander  crashed into the moon's surface on  April 25, 2023, it snapped this gorgeous picture of our planet.
