How To Watch The 2019 Total Solar Eclipse Live In CNY

The greatest celestial spectacle happens on July 2, 2019, and here's where to watch without eye protection.

A total solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun. This time it will be visible from small parts of Chile and Argentina while a partial solar eclipse can be seen from Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay depending on the weather.

Time and date.com say a solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse. So, there are still two eclipses in a row, but sometimes three during the same eclipse season. This is the first eclipse, and the second will be a partial lunar eclipse on July 16–17, 2019.

What the total solar eclipse will look like according to The Farmer's Almanac.

• Flames are leaping like pink geysers from the Sun’s edge with the naked eye.
• Watch the Moon discernibly moving in its orbit like in a sci-fi movie.
• See the sun’s atmosphere, its ultra-hot corona, splay far across the sky, displaying intricate filamentary structure, making visible the Sun’s impressive magnetic field, the largest structure in the solar system.
• Discover the sky’s brighter stars and planets emerge from the inky black cosmos, which only happens when the Sun is blocked.
