Millions will get a rare look at the total solar eclipse on Monday as parts of North America will go dark for the first time in seven years.
The rare celestial phenomenon won’t happen again for the next few decades. The last solar eclipse took place in 2017, when then-President Trump and first lady Melania Trump viewed the solar eclipse from the White House.
States along the “path of totality” are preparing for increased travelers, with prices for hotels and home rentals skyrocketing as travelers attempt to see the moon fully block out the sun.
A total solar eclipse will be visible over parts of Mexico, 15 U.S. states and eastern Canada. The rest of the continental U.S. will experience a partial eclipse.
The total eclipse will begin the U.S. in Texas around 2:30 p.m. EST and end in Maine around 3:30 p.m.
