About the Solar Eclipse 2024 Doodle
The Moon is having its day in the Sun ¡ª happy solar eclipse 2024! Today the Moon crosses between the Sun and the Earth, effectively blocking the Sun¡¯s light. In the path of totality, the sky will darken and the air will cool, and the Sun¡¯s glowing corona (it¡¯s rarely seen outermost part) will become visible for up to four and a half minutes! People in North America (Mexico, the United States, and Canada) get to witness a special and rare event ¡ª a partial eclipse or total eclipse if they are in the path of totality. Visit NASA¡¯s live stream to watch the event live from 1-4 p.m. ET (10:30 pm to 1:30 am IST).
When was the last solar eclipse?
The most recent total solar eclipse in the U.S. occurred on August 21, 2017. In October, skywatchers were treated to a rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse. In this phenomenon, the moon moves in front of the sun but doesn't completely block it, resulting in a halo effect around the sun.
