How people across the U.S. are making the most of the solar eclipse

Round Rock Public Library in Round Rock, Texas, used disco balls to project the annular eclipse of October 2023, and recommends people try it for themselves on Monday.

A total solar eclipse will cross North America on Monday, giving millions of people from Texas to Maine the chance to see the moon completely block the face of the daytime sun.

And many more outside the 100-mile-wide "path of totality" — every U.S. state, according to NASA — will still see a partial eclipse, in which the moon blocks at least some of the sun.
