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 best time to start watching Monday night's lunar eclipse will be at 12:33 a.m. (Tuesday morning) Central Standard Time. It takes just over an hour for the earth's shadow to completely engulf the moon, which means that totality arrives at 1:41 a.m CST and then lasts for another hour and 12 minutes.
