During a total solar eclipse, the Moon passes in front of the Sun, completely covering it and casting a shadow on Earth. The path of the eclipse is determined by the Moon’s umbra, the darkest part of its shadow. This rare phenomenon offers a unique opportunity for skywatchers to witness the beauty and wonder of the universe.

For those unable to witness the eclipse in person, there are various ways to watch it online or through live streams. As the world prepares for this awe-inspiring event, astronomers and enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the chance to experience the magic of a total solar eclipse.
