A solar eclipse is an event that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking all or part of the Sun's light from reaching Earth. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely covers the Sun, creating a spectacular sight in which day briefly turns to night. Solar eclipses occur relatively infrequently, with each location on Earth experiencing them only once every few years at most. The path of totality for a total solar eclipse is very narrow and can only be seen by people located within its path. Those outside of this path will see a partial solar eclipse instead, in which only part of the Sun is blocked out by the Moon. During both types of eclipses, it is important to take safety precautions such as wearing special glasses or using other methods to protect your eyes from looking directly at the sun during any stage of an eclipse. Solar eclipses have been observed since ancient times and are often seen as portents or omens in many cultures around the world and are studied by scientists who use them to learn more about our universe and how it works. The next total solar eclipse visible from North America will occur on April 8th 2024; however there are numerous partial eclipses that will be visible throughout 2021 and 2022 before then.
