Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.
The next eclipse is September 1, 2016, an annular solar eclipse visible from the southern tropical regions of Africa and Madagascar. The new moon will pass directly in front of the solar disk on September 1, but the moon will lie too far away from Earth in its orbit to completely cover over the sunâs disk.
