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.
Here's who will be able to see the solar eclipse live on Friday. This is not quite a total solar eclipse, but it's pretty close. This Friday, March 20, marks the first and only total eclipse of the sun in 2015. During the eclipse, the moon passes directly between the sun and planet Earth.
