The sun will look like a crescent, and the moon casts a shadow on the earth, making the sky darker. If you are lucky enough to be in the "path of totality" where it will be a total solar eclipse, totality will only last two minutes, so make sure you know exactly what time to get out there! For start/end times, and the time of totality (or maximum eclipse), look for your city here: eclipse times.Ī solar eclipse is when the moon crosses in front of the sun. The eclipse happens mid-day around 9:00am-11:30am (PST), or 1:30pm-4pm (EST). Get ready to watch a solar eclipse on Monday, August 21! The eclipse will last about two and a half hours, but if you only have a few minutes make sure you get outside to watch around the halfway point.
