It’s an awe-inspiring sight that doesn’t occur often: For the first time in 38 years, the contiguous U.S. will experience a total eclipse of the sun.
This celestial event happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth and blocks all or part of the sun. A total solar eclipse, when the moon fully covers the sun, can only be seen in the path of totality.
