* The path of totality is the narrow region on Earth where the Moon completely covers the Sun during a total solar eclipse. The path of totality varies for each eclipse depending on the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The path of totality can be around 15,000 km long, but only about 150 km wide. Observers within the path of totality will experience a brief period of darkness and see the Sun’s corona. *
