The next chance to see a total solar eclipse in the U.S. will be Aug. 21, 2017. Weather conditions were forecast to be best for eclipse viewing in the southeastern U.S., where clear skies were expected Sunday morning, according to AccuWeather.
Solar eclipses happen when the sun, moon and Earth are perfectly aligned so that when the moon passes in front of the sun it casts a shadow on the Earth. On March 20 this year the moon's shadow falls across parts of North Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
