About this eclipse
A total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk and day briefly turns to twilight along a narrow path of totality.
Exactly what you'll see depends heavily on where you are. Set your location to get the local start, maximum and end times and how much of the Sun is covered from your spot.
Never look at the Sun directly — always use certified solar-eclipse glasses or a safe projection method.
