Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
The total eclipse, when the full face of the moon is covered in shadow, starts at 7:11 p.m. and ends at 8:23 p.m. After that, you can watch the moon slowly emerge from Earth's shadow until just before 10 p.m., when the last, faintest bit of shadow, called the penumbra, disappears from the lunar disk.
