World to witness solar eclipse
Many people in the world will be having the rare chance to watch a solar eclipse on Monday.
All countries in the Americas as well as in parts of Africa and Europe will be able to observe at least a partial solar eclipse, while the thin path of the total solar eclipse will pass through portions of 14 of the United States’ 50 states.
A total solar eclipse is the central moment of the eclipse when the moon completely covers the sun.
The last time Americans witnessed a total solar eclipse was less than four decades ago, in 1979.
The celestial event will see the moon blocking all or parts of the sun for up to three hours from beginning to end as viewed from a given location.
The eclipse begins its cross-country trajectory over the US at the Pacific Coast of Oregon in late Monday morning.
It will reach South Carolina's Atlantic shore some 90 minutes later.
The longest period when the moon completely blocks the sun in the upcoming eclipse will be about two minutes and 40 seconds — in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
