A total solar eclipse is expected to be seen on Monday, April 8, across parts of fifteen U.S. states, southeast Canada, and northern Mexico.
With about 32 million people living inside the path of totality, which is a 115-mile (185-kilometer) wide passage through Northern America where the moon will cover 100% of the sun’s disc, it will be one of the most viewed eclipses ever.
If you cannot view the solar eclipse in person, you can watch all the action unfold here on Space.com. Our extensive solar eclipse live updates page allows you to stay up to speed on all eclipse-related information.
The moon passes in the direction of the sun during a total solar eclipse, appearing to be about the same size as the sun. A few minutes during totality, the moon completely blocks the solar disc (the length of totality varies depending on your viewing position).
