Solar Eclipses

Astronomers Without Borders is sending 16,000 recycled eclipse glasses to Ethiopia for the "ring of fire" annular eclipse on June 21.

A "ring of fire" solar eclipse will briefly appear in parts of Africa and Asia this weekend, and if you aren't out there in person, you can take in the spectacular show online.

During June and early July, it is eclipse season once again. In the coming weeks, there will be three eclipses that take place: one of the sun and two of the moon.

The Great North American Solar Eclipse is coming.

As the 2010s come to a close, it's time to revisit how some of the biggest space science stories shaped the decade.

It was the last solar eclipse of the decade.

The last solar eclipse of 2019, a so-called "ring of fire" eclipse, occurs Thursday (Dec. 26) in the Eastern Hemisphere. You can watch it live online today, Dec. 25, like a cosmic Christmas gift.

If you're planning to spend Christmas in the Eastern Hemisphere, you'll have a celestial treat to look forward to the next day as the new moon eclipses the sun.

Two legendary scientists gave us an understanding of gravity, and how to apply that understanding to the motion of the sun, planets and moons.

The drama of a total solar eclipse has astonished countless astronomers and amateurs, but few have channeled that astonishment as beautifully as artist Carol Prusa.

As millions of skywatchers witnessed the Great South American Solar Eclipse on July 2, a European satellite observed the celestial event from space.

When the July 2 total solar eclipse crossed South America, a small group of scientists waited to see if the models they made matched up with pictures of the real thing.

Before the April 2024 total eclipse that will cross North America, there are a dozen lunar and solar eclipses appearing in skies across the world.

More than 50 people got a bird's-eye view of yesterday's (July 2) total solar eclipse aboard a special flight operated by Chile-based airline LATAM.
