Solar Eclipse

On the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University, as it was across North America, people stopped for a few hours Monday and, after taking a few safety precautions, got a glimpse of the moon's shadow traversing the sun.

Today’s total solar eclipse will make landfall along Mexico’s Pacific coast and cross into Texas and 14 other U.S. states, before exiting over Canada.It will last almost twice as long, with an even wider audience, than the total solar eclipse that stretched coast-to-coast in the U.S. in 2017.The moon will shroud the sun for up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds, a spectacle normally unfolding in remote corners of the globe but this time passing over major cities like Dallas, Indianapolis and Cleveland.
