April 3, 2024 (San Diego) – A partial solar eclipse will  create a celestial spectacle in San Diego’s skies on Monday,  April 8th—the last chance to glimpse a solar eclipse in the continental U.S. for 20 years. But be sure use eclipse safety glasses to protect your eye if you want to view the eclipse live.
 
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. In San Diego, the eclipse will cover 55 percent of the sun, according to Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater astronomer Lisa Will, Associated Press reports.
