This Month's cover features young scientists examining a recent solar eclipse; on April 8, 2024, much of the central US will experience a total eclipse. See the AstroNotes Column for more details about the eclipse and other upcoming astronomy events from Cherilynn Morrow of the NASA PUNCH (Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission.
