A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. People viewing the eclipse from locations where the Moon鈥檚 shadow completely covers the Sun 鈥� known as the path of totality 鈥� will experience a total solar eclipse. The sky will become dark as if it were dawn or dusk.
To see all stages of a total solar eclipse, you must view it from somewhere along the path of totality: the locations on Earth from which the Moon鈥檚 shadow completely covers the Sun. Little Rock, Ark., is in this path, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock will host an for the community.
