An ‘Eclipse Season’ Begins Today — Here’s What’s About To Happen

An eclipse season begins on July 27 and lasts 35 days through Aug. 31.

It sets up a total solar eclipse on Aug. 12, with the Sun’s corona visible along the path.

A deep partial lunar eclipse follows on Aug. 27-28, nearly reaching totality.

The timing is predictable but rare enough to create major skywatching events.
