What is a total solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon partially or totally covers the sun. There are four types of solar eclipses—partial, annular, total, and hybrid. A total solar eclipse happens when the moon completely covers the sun and typically only lasts between 10 seconds and 7.5 minutes.

Safety first!

Remember, it is extremely dangerous to look directly at the sun. Doing so can seriously damage your eyes and even cause blindness. When observing a solar eclipse, you must wear eclipse glasses or view it through a solar filter. Ordinary sunglasses do NOT work. You can also view a solar eclipse indirectly through projection. The only time you can view a solar eclipse without protection is when the moon completely obscures the sun (totality). Please review the eclipse safety guidelines in detail.
