The next total solar eclipse is just hours away. NASA wants everyone to enjoy it, but has some important advice on how to do it safely.
North America is just hours away from Monday’s total solar eclipse when the the moon will come between the sun and Earth, dramatically dimming natural daylight along a 115-wide path of totality from Maine to Texas.
Millions of people are expected to witness the celestial phenomenon, with many making their way from across the U.S. — and beyond — to a place inside the path of totality where the effect of the eclipse will be at its most prominent.
There are a few concerns about the weather, with thick cloud threatening to ruin the show for some folks. The National Weather Service has posted a map of the U.S. that shows the locations likely to have some cloud cover, but people are being advised to check local forecasts for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
