Total solar eclipse of 21 August 2017, fish-eye lens view. Total solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. Total solar eclipses usually occur less than once a year, and can only be seen from a small area of the Earth's surface. At totality, the solar atmosphere (corona) becomes visible. This total solar eclipse was visible across large parts of the USA on 21 August 2017. Totality lasted for just over minutes. The time from first contact to last contact was just over 3 hours. Photographed on 21 August 2017, from Idaho, USA, where totality occurred around 11:30 local time.
