During this rare event the Moon positions itself precisely between our planet and the Sun, creating a momentary blackout, revealing the Sun’s corona. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most people as it casts a shadow on only a fraction of the Earth's surface. #Space #Science #Eclipse #SolarEclipse | Museum of Science, Boston | Facebook

STUNNING SIGHT! Time lapse video captured this morning's rare solar eclipse. It was the first time since 2017 that Americans could watch a solar eclipse from their backyards! Unlike last month's lunar eclipse that dazzled the West Coast, this celestial phenomenon was visible in the U.S. along parts of the southeast, northeast, Midwest and northern Alaska. https://abc7.la/3pDc0ca | ABC7
