NASA qualifies eclipses as among the most impressive in the universe
A total eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, completely blocking the Sun’s light and making the Sun appear to disappear.
During a total eclipse, the Moon is perfectly aligned with the Sun and Earth, so the Moon’s shadow falls on Earth, completely obscuring the Earth’s surface in a limited region.
Total eclipses are relatively rare and can be observed from a narrow strip of the Earth’s surface. Viewers within that strip can see the sun gradually darken until the entire solar disk is completely covered by the Moon, and then see the sun gradually reappear as the Moon moves out of line of sight.
