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.
