What is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk; the sky will begin to change around 1:50 p.m. with totality at 3:06 p.m. The next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044.
It has been 819 years since Hamilton County has had a total solar eclipse.
