April's eclipse is shaping up to be quite the event, and some astronomers say we might even get more of a spectacle than just the eclipse.
April will bring the last total solar eclipse the mainland U.S. will see for the next twenty years or so. But beyond the beauty of an eclipse, skywatchers will also potentially be able to catch sight of additional planets and even a comet during April's eclipse. According to reports featured on WFLA, the total solar eclipse may also give us some good views of Jupiter, Venus, and even a once-in-71-year comet.
The easiest way to spot these possible eclipse attendees will be to stretch your arm out completely and ball your hand into a fist. When you do this, your first is roughly 10 degrees. You can use that to measure 30 degrees from the Sun to find where Jupiter might appear. As with any eclipse, though, you'll need to make sure you're wearing proper eclipse gear when the event happens.
