Everyone in North America plus parts of South America, Africa, and Europe will see at least a partial solar eclipse, while the thin path of totality will pass through portions of 12 states.

What is It?
A solar eclipse in which the moon passes between the sun and Earth and blocks all or part of the sun for up to an hour and a half, from beginning to end, as viewed from a given location.  For this eclipse the longest period when the moon completely blocks the sun will be about two minutes and 40 seconds.  The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979.
