Eclipse Day! Millions in the U.S. will have their eyes to the sky as they witness a total solar eclipse. The solar eclipse touches down in the north Pacific Ocean at 16:48:33 UT, at local sunrise. (At that spot, the Sun will actually rise while totally eclipsed).
On 26 February 2017 is the next solar eclipse which will be visible from the Southern Atlantic Ocean. It starts from the lower southern part of South America and follows a narrow path until it hits Angola in Africa. The peak will reach at 9:54 AM EST.

If you look out to the night sky, it’s very easy to focus on the planets. It’s easy to get taken in by the beauty of the moon. It’s also fairly easy to be in awe of the natural world.
It’s really easy to think that our galaxy is just something that exists out there. It’s so big and vast; it's hard to connect to it in any emotional way. Most human beings process reality on an emotional level.
