20th century. The total solar eclipse of June 8, 1918 crossed the United States from Washington State to Florida. This path is roughly similar to the August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse and was the last time totality crossed the nation from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Editor's note: The Great American Solar Eclipse was on Aug. 21. It swept across the continental United States from Oregon to Georgia. See our full coverage. Another total solar eclipse will be seen across the United States in 2024. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earthâs surface.
