Mazatlán sous l’Umbra
On April 8, 2024, we will be the privileged witnesses of the Total Solar Eclipse, a phenomenon that will not be repeated for 300 years. According to Gregory Schmidt of NASA’s Solar System Virtual Institute for Exploration and Study (SSERVI-NASA), Mazatlán is the best place in the world to enjoy this astronomical spectacle.
The partial eclipse will begin at 9:51:18 a.m. and the total eclipse will begin at 11:07:20 a.m. The total eclipse will last 4 minutes and 20 seconds, ending at 11:11:40 local time. It is important to emphasize that this type of eclipse will not be repeated in this region for 300 years.
Revelation! No, snow isn’t really white! So what is its true color?
The eclipse will be visible in parts of Mexico, the United States and Canada. But Mazatlán will be the first city to record the phenomenon after it began in the Pacific Ocean.
Eclipses in Mexico
The last total solar eclipse in Mexico occurred on July 11, 1991. It lasted about seven minutes, being the longest in the last century. The eclipse began in the Pacific Ocean and was visible across the country. The next total solar eclipse in Mexico will be March 30, 2052.
Mexico has also experienced annular eclipses, such as those on March 7, 1970 and February 15, 1961. The last annular solar eclipse in Mexico took place on October 14, 2023 and crossed the Yucatán Peninsula.
The organization
The Municipal Government of Mazatlán, in collaboration with the Mazatléca Astronomical Society, scientists and representatives of NASA, the Mexican Space Agency and the Ruta Eclipse Organization, united to organize the Total Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024.
The Secretary of Economic Development, Tourism and Fisheries, Martin Ochoa Lopez, announced the formation of a Municipal Committee for the Eclipse. This committee will focus on preparing the community for guided and safe viewing.

Additionally, hotel occupancy has already reached 90%, anticipating 100% attendance as the event approaches, with the participation of scientists and amateurs from around the world.
In a gesture of collaboration, NASA presented a lunar stone to the Mazatléca Astronomical Society, marking the start of a fruitful collaboration between Mazatlán and the Mexican Space Agency.
A point of vital importance was mentioned by the mayor, Edgar González, which guaranteed security, highlighting the opportunity to place Mazatlán on the global map, with NASA broadcasting live from this tourist destination.
Space: Halley’s Comet is heading towards Earth again!
Do not miss this celestial experience which will not be repeated in the next 300 years in the region and which will place the Pearl of the Pacific as the only place where it will be 100% visible, in addition to counting on qualified staff to benefit from great experience.
