PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A total solar eclipse is an amazing feat of nature no matter what, and parts of Pennsylvania are in for another helping of eclipse in just a few years.

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge parts of the Midwest and Northeast into temporary darkness.

Erie, Pennsylvania falls directly in the path of totality. But other areas of the state will experience a much better show considering our proximity to the path, compared to this year's eclipse.

So, mark your calendars!
