Where will you be for Solar Eclipse 2024?
The solar eclipse on April 8 will be about 85-90% viewable (with solar eye protection) in Delaware. This means that if you want to see the total eclipse with the “ring of fire,” you’ll have to head about six hours northwest to the Erie, Pennsylvania area.
Things might get hectic in the path of totality that, in the US, spans from Texas to Maine over the day. For a more laid-back partial experience here at home, check out today’s Delaware eclipse guide.

Attend our annual readers conference on May 9
The Technical.ly Builders Conference is what it says in the name — a daylong conference on building better companies and tech ecosystems — but it also serves as an annual gathering for the whole Technical.ly community. We always leave feeling super energized after reconnecting with everyone.
Readers from all over the country are coming to Philadelphia to speak and present and deal and network, and we think you should be among them. The day closes with an evening party, our Signature Event. Early-bird pricing ends April 1, so now’s the time to save your spot.
