A total solar eclipse is when the Sun is completely covered by the Moon.
Eclipses happen on an average of about every 18 months. But not all are created equal. Some last just a few seconds; others darken the sky for up to seven minutes. And where they occur makes a huge difference. Some fall in the oceans while others take place in areas where frequent cloud cover, humidity or haze makes for poor viewing.
