People from Maine to Texas will experience a total solar eclipse exactly two years from Friday.
The rarity occurs when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, where, for a short time, it will block the sun’s rays from reaching the Earth, according to a report.
The time when this happens is known as the period of totality, the report noted.

People across the United States witnessed the “Great American Eclipse” in 2017, but 2024 will see the eclipse likely cover the eastern portion of the nation.
The eclipse will reach 100% totality in areas of Texas, Oklahoma, Maine, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
This area is home to roughly 32 million people.
In other portions of the nation, partial blockage will be seen, according to the report.
The eclipse is expected to commence before 1:30 p.m. in Texas and after 3:30 p.m. in Maine, the report noted.
