A total solar eclipse passed over North America on
Monday, putting on a dramatic show that was visible to
millions of people.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes
between Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's
face. Those within the path of totality, including 32 million
people in the United States, saw the eclipse in its full
splendor. People outside the path were still able to see a
partial solar eclipse, where the moon blocks only part of
the sun's face.
Many people traveled to the path of totality to attend
special viewing parties. Those along the very center line of the path saw an eclipse that lasted between 3 and half
and 4 minutes, according to NASA.
For many Americans, this was the last chance to see a
total solar eclipse for 20 years. The next one won't be
visible across the contiguous United States until August
2044.
