Rare Total Solar Eclipse Sweeping Across the US

A total solar eclipse is set to occur across the United States today, where the moon will pass between the sun and the Earth, creating moments of darkness along a path stretching from Texas to Maine. During this phenomenon, temperatures may drop, streetlights could turn on, and the behavior of animals, birds, and plants might show some unusual patterns. Safety precautions to view the eclipse are highlighted, emphasizing the danger of looking directly at the sun. This event, being a rare celestial occurrence, is worth experiencing, as the US will not witness another total solar eclipse until 2044.
