A total solar eclipse is an occurrence that will occur in a few years and won’t be witnessed for another hundred years.
Put August 2, 2027, on your calendars and plan your route to the optimum location if you wish to spend a few minutes in the dark during the day because of this celestial occurrence.
A total solar eclipse happens when the moon totally obscures the sun, leaving the region in darkness where sunshine should be.
The ‘totality’ is the darkest area of this shadow, and you can spend several minutes there if you’re in the right spot at the right time.
