What you’ll see
During a total solar eclipse the Moon covers the Sun completely for observers inside a narrow path of totality, turning day briefly to twilight and revealing the solar corona. Outside the path, a partial eclipse is visible over a much wider region. Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses except during the brief moments of totality itself.
