WHAT IS A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon serendipitously passes between Earth and the sun, blocking all of the sunlight and casting a shadow onto the Earth.  On July 2, 2019, the South Pacific Ocean and parts of South America will lie in the center of the moon's shadow, turning day into night for over 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

A total solar eclipse is a relatively rare occurrence because the Moon doesn’t orbit in the same plane as the Earth and Sun. But when the three bodies line up just right, the Moon covers up the disc of the Sun, and those in the direct path of the Moon’s shadow will see the Sun go dark.

Find out more about the upcoming solar eclipse in our Ultimate Guide to the 2019 Total Solar Eclipse. 

WHEN IS THE 2019 SOLAR ECLIPSE AND WHERE CAN I WATCH IT?
The eclipse will begin over the Pacific Ocean at 17:03 UTC, which corresponds to 9:03 AM local time in Adamstown, Pitcairn. It will continue along its path until 21:44 UTC (19:44 local time in Buenos Aires), when the shadow of the moon leaves Libres del Sud, Argentina, just 20 miles west of the South Atlantic coast.

You can view the full eclipse if you travel to the center of the 125-mile wide path of the eclipse. Skygazers on the periphery of the path will experience a partial solar eclipse. Make sure to pay attention to the weather forecast to avoid overcast skies. You can learn more here.
