eclipse

Montreal is in the path of totality, and its largest eclipse-watching event is taking place in Parc Jean-Drapeau.

The path of the solar eclipse did not pass directly over the Triad. But there was still enough for folks to get out and catch an indirect glimpse.

On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will darken a swath of North America in the middle of the day, a cosmic event that is generating buzz, travel plans and watch parties from Mexico to Maine and beyond.

Yes, viewing a total solar eclipse can be beautiful and life-altering. But so can many other things in life.

Experts say you should gas up before you go, and plan to stay for a while afterward.

Outdoor groups and state and local officials in northern parts of the northeastern US worry that a surge of eclipse-watchers could overwhelm backcountry first responders.

Under a cloudless sky, about 20,000 eclipse chasers watched a rare solar eclipse plunge part of Australia's northwest coast into brief midday darkness Thursday with an accompanying temperature drop.

If you didn't wake up early enough to see Thursday's solar eclipse yourself, photographers from the U.S. to Asia to Europe snapped images of the striking astronomical event.

Instead of the sun's full disk of fire, or a crescent of light, viewers in areas of complete annularity saw a fiery halo around the moon.
