Solar eclipse. A solar eclipse (as seen from the planet Earth) is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks (occults) the Sun. This can happen only at new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment referred to as syzygy.
There will also be a solar eclipses on September 1, 2016 that will be visible from Africa and parts of the Indian Ocean. A solar eclipse on February 26, 2017 will be visible from South America, Africa and Antarctica. The next solar eclipse that can be seen in the United States and North America will be on August 21, 2017, NASA says. According to NASA, the solar eclipses in March will be a total eclipse, as will the August 2017 eclipse. The September 2016 and February 2017 eclipses will both be annular eclipses, which means a ring of sunlight will remain visible.
