There is an air of excitement about the total solar eclipse occurring on Monday, April 8, which will put around 32 million people in its path over the US, Canada and Mexico. It's a phenomenon we won't see again for another 20 years (2044 is when experts are predicting anything close to this). So to mark this special occasion, ABC has announced it is going to air a live special surrounding the total solar eclipse.
Dubbed Eclipse Across America, this two-hour special is a collaboration between ABC News and National Geographic to cover the moments when the afternoon sky goes dark (even bringing the stars into view in certain areas) and the silver ring of the sun's corona will surround the moon that'll look entirely black. If you aren't in the path of the total solar eclipse, then this special is going to be a way to experience the full effect of the rare event.
