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.
Later this year, on September 1, there will be another solar eclipse visible from Africa. Folks in North America will have to wait their turn, however, as the next total solar eclipse will occur for them on August 21, 2017. The shadow path will cross over the contiguous United States for the first time since 1979, from Oregon to South Carolina.
