in places along that path people will be able to view the sun's corona, the outer atmosphere of the sun which usually is not visible or distinctive because of the sun's brightness. it will be in lots of places across the root come along that route talking to correspondents to bring you all of the atmosphere from those watch parties. you are watching the world today as be built up to the total solar eclipse. it will start up in the cook islands in the pacific and then head across to mexico across 13 us states and make its way up into canada. this is the route where people will be plunged into darkness as the moon passes between the sun and earth. totally covering up the face of the sun. in other areas around this, people will see a partial eclipse, but it is this total solar eclipse that will be our focusing on. we will take you, if you are not in one of those locations and watching the eclipse safely through special glasses, we have got you absolutely covered because we will be talking to our correspondence along that route known as the path of totality. that is the route on the map on

of the sun. e can never see the corona of the sun, because it's much less bright than the disk of the sun. the only time we can see that corona or crown, that corona is latin for crown of the sun. the atmosphere of the sun is during this eclipse. so when the moon moves across the sun, it blocks out the brightest part of the sun and we can see that corona or atmosphere of the sun. and we can, as scientists, that gives us a great chance to study the atmosphere of the sun, during these eclipses and for the past 100 years or so, scientists have made instruments called coronagraphs, which allow us to block out the sun and study the outer atmosphere of the sun. but still, the best coronagraph in the world is the moon. when it gets right in front of the sun, it's my understanding that you're also part of a team that is developing a coronagraph, so we might be able to see some hidden planets, is that right? that's exactly right. so one of the programs i work on at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory is the n

the moon was much bigger in the sky than the sun. ds of thousands of years from now, the moon is going to slowly move away from the earth. larger distance between our bodies. the moon will be smaller than the disk out of sun and we will never have total expenses like this ever again. don't wary. it will still happen for a few hundred thousand years. >> aishah: we don't need to worry about it. >> john: our kids may have to worry about it but at least we don't. this is great because we are going to see this. this eclipse is not going to last four and a half minutes. it will last three hours or so. we are seeing, we are about to get the same zone of totality that we had. we are also looking in texas where the moon is covering about three quarters of the sun. we are going to have an unbelievable cat bird seed view of this from the coast of mexico in the pacific all the way up to the coast of maine in the atlantic. this is going to be amazing. >> it is amazing that you guys have this amazing footage from different geographical regions i kn

out our view of the sun p. gan: does it happen often? sarah: in some part of the world it is every 18 months but it's a rare event. megan: the last time cleveland had a total solar eclipse, 1806. sarah: remarkable. megan: once in a lifetime opportunity. not everyone will see the moon completely eclipsing the sun. sarah: only those in the path. but some of you will get to see a partial eclipse, weather permitting. megan: we hope you'll be good and clear. let's look at today's path of totality. it passes through parts of mexico, 15 u.s. states and southeastern canada. there's an estimated 32 million people who live along the path, not to mention the tens of thousands of people who traveled 20 somewhere along it as well. you're from d.c. and i'm from florida. sarah: i feel lucky to travel to see this one. megan: we'll have live reports from our correspondents spread out across the path to share this event with you, some recognizable locations in between, the indianapolis motor speedway, home of the famous indy 5 ha

so you're going to hear the lyric the moon has eclipsed the sun. it's gonna be very, very cool, about 30,000 people, they're expecting here at the great lakes science center. this is also home cleveland to the glenn research center. it's the only nasa facility that is in the path of totality. so nasa has a very, very big contingent here. the entire city, they're calling, calling it the blackout to remember the entire city just looking forward to this one, it is going to be a great day. bell >> all right. miguel marquez, that sounds so great. you've gone to plenty of uno here of the generation that would go see pink floyd dark side moon at the laser mariam and now that lyric could have gnomon fitter backdrop than the total moment of totality i can't wait for that one. thank you, miguel, let's now go to buffalo, america's oldest state park. that is harry anton's beat, harryette and his are man and buffalo, as if you could not tell a man who practices experiential journalism. and is in one of my favorite places, harry, what's the mood there these folks

the sun and the moon appeared the same size in our sky, even though the sun is some $400.00 times larger. and every now and then the moon passes directly between us and the sun blocking out its lights and creating a path where when eclipse is visible for those in the center of the path, the eclipse is total with every kilometer you move of that path. the coverage gets less, a total eclipse usually happens once or twice every yes, some way around us. but it's not often that the positive to tell it to the process through a densely populated colorado like this one from mexico, through the united states and into canada. and just the southern as it disappeared, the sun returns. the sky is again filled with lights. as the moon's shadow dissipates. but those who stood in its path, well remember it forever. keith colleen is editor at nasa watch. and he told us, what's so special about a total solar eclipse, as well as your to duction mentioned this happened once or twice a year. but normally the silver, either the ocean where nobody lives or parts of the world, we're going to a lot of people. th

deflected by the sun. snowing the position very, very accurately and knowing how it appeared in the pictures they were trying to take would allow was to work out whether einstein was right were newton and it turns out einstein was correct. fascinating insights there. great to have you with us, edward. we cannot go over to our correspondent in texas. —— we cannot now. bring this up with the latest, how is the eclipse regressing? ll how is the eclipse regressing? it has gone a bit cold meaning it is getting — has gone a bit cold meaning it is getting to — has gone a bit cold meaning it is getting to that point, it has gone darker_ getting to that point, it has gone darker as— getting to that point, it has gone darker as well. i have my safe sunglasses on and if you don't mind, i'm just _ sunglasses on and if you don't mind, i'm just looking. so an hour ago it said it _ i'm just looking. so an hour ago it said it looked like the moon had nibbted — said it looked like the moon had nibbled the sun but now it has

so it doesn't cover the sun completely. that's uh and you get this, this sort of ring of fire around the outside of, of, of, of the shadow of the moon. i think that we're seeing the grounds now. it looks like complete and utter dark arts. things right now, let me just ask my producer what that is. that is this is this also indianapolis that we're seeing right now. this is, this is moving into a, this is the partial eclipse. yes. or the aspect that we talked about as it, as the moon slowly crosses the sun. actually it's not, it's not moving all that slowly. it's, you know, this, the shadow of the cast on the earth, the totality is moving along. this, this strip at about just under 2 and a half 1000 kilometers an hour. so it's nicely fast. it's pretty fast and, and the, that the amount of time that somebody who's on the ground will spend in the shadow of this totality. so in this total darkness is only about 3 and a half to 4 minutes. this is what, which is what we are seeing right here. now this one was in was yeah, right now

>> it's when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth and it passes the sun in the path of totality. places can turn totally dark for four minutes. >> and guess what? i think this is one of those places. it may turn totally dark here for for about four minutes. >> what what do you think you're going to do during those four minutes of darkness here? >> well, some nocturnal animals come out >> what about you? what are you going to do? >> i'm going to watch the eclipse, watch the eclipse. >> yeah. we're all going to watch it together and dad what do you think? we're gonna be doing during the eclipse? >> well, maybe what everybody else is doing, how like a wolf you know, one thing that i he's both me and bill that's his nickname, right. so this is true to form. >> you know, i'm so struck by the fact that, here we are in indianapolis and our whole plan as a family was always to watch a total solar eclipse outside in nature, where you can see the nocturnal animals come out like clara said. but no, we're here with about 50,000 of our closest friends. i'm >> curious how you think it's going

is, scattering the light around the sun. at to completely disappear as we go under complete darkness and completes completes totality i'm seeing right now this is incredible. the diamond ring effect. this is what we all wait for that moment for the moon across in front of the sun unless there it is >> listen to >> this crowd get the stores that have look through the planet's >> venus will >> be to the west there is a comment that is visible to the naked eye this is just incredible right now, we are in a solar maximum it is 11 year cycle >> look at the fellow number files. >> we are seeing a moment that is just transcending this actually experience. i've been we are watching baily's beads that is around the corner rona that his sons atmosphere. that is interacting with the valleys and mountains in the rain >> you feeling right now i don't even know how encapsulates this moment. you could see that and everybody just pulling out their phone. some people just taking it the experience it is safe to look at this moment. >> but >> i

days. >> so the sun and the moon, even though they are very different in their sizes, because the sunaway than the moon, that makes the sun 400 times smaller. so in our night sky, they look like they're about the same size. >> reporter: the moon has to move directly between the earth and the sun in perfect alignment for an eclipse. and it has to be during a new moon. the sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk, and you'll only be able to see the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona. >> the corona is the sun's outermost father. so when you look at the solar eclipse, you see streamers. >> reporter: if you were lucky enough to be in the path of totality, you were able to look directly at the sun, exactly what your parents told you not to do at a kid. >> the rule for looking at the sun is never do it without proper eye protection when any part of the sun's surface is exposed. >> reporter: your fellow sun gazers aren't the only ones affected. plants and animals are known to react too. i'm note just talking about fido and fluffy. >> and malls and plants take their cues from the sun often.

lions before the sun. this swallowed up by the moon. then a single bright speed of lights, like the jewel on the diamond ring. before tow, tell it to the sky gazes across north america were treated to once in a lifetime view. so beautiful. oh my goodness. listen for the birds. i don't hear any during totality the sun's atmosphere. the corona is visible and you can see flash on the sun surface. some of them the size of our own planet. a solar eclipse is the consequence of a cosmic coincidence. the sun and the moon appeared the same size in our sky, even though the sun is some $400.00 times larger. and every now and then the moon passes directly between us and the sun blocking out its lights and creating a path where when eclipse is visible for those in the center of the path, the eclipse is total with every columbus. so you move of that path. the coverage gets less, a total eclipse usually happens once or twice every yes, somewhere around us. but it's not often that the pos of totality processed through a de

every vs and there's the sun again. but for that moment, you get the sort of cosmic perspective of being on a planet in another world, moving in front of a local star. and well, many people think that you feel small in such a situation. you can also feel very large, very great because i googled all right, but it's not just as spectacular like show, right. it's also an opportunity for scientist as well. oh, absolutely. and you have part of the problem when you're standing on the ground, is it this cloud? you're not going to see the eclipse. so what nasa was able to do was take tubes jets and fly above the weather and follow that path as was the shadow of the move past over the years. and we're able to do some very precise measurements with the some expensive tell us what the problems aircraft. and you know, you can use somebody called a corona graph, which is a little piece of something that goes in part of your telescope and make it part of official eclipse. but nothing beats having the moon there in front of the sun, ge

and again, never look directly at the sun. you want to have the sunglasses or another way to view the eclipse safely. and that eclipse will end here at 1215 later on. so we're finding temperatures this morning. we're cold in some areas. saint helena, you're at 3938. in danville. we're at 43 in oakland right now, 48 in san francisco. but we are going to rebound very nicely later on this afternoon. get used to this type of forecast. it repeats for several days. your sunrise here at 644. we have sunshine this afternoon feeling very nice in the 60s and 70s, but it gets even warmer than that in the days ahead. we'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. guys >> thank you. drew. we're just hours away from today's total solar eclipse. 15 states from texas to maine are in the path of totality, and the rest of the country will see it in some form. more than 30 million people live in places where the sun will be 100% covered. millions of others have traveled to cities in the path. so many people, some local officials, have issued eme

that is where the moon completely covers the sun. vacation rentals are booked from texas on up to maine. aaa estimates hotel prices in the path of totality are up 50% . so the totality of your checking account to pay for it. many are sold out, the same thing happened with the great american eclipse in august of 2017. there is video of the traffic jam and people in oregon, the places and that path of totality. one of the people, travel to the pacific northwest for the celestial event. henry mule lack. he shared these pictures with us after tomorrow, total sor eclipse won't happen again in the u.s. or another 20 years. >> wow. rob, we talked about all the hotels along the path of totality. booked up, as terry said, total paycheck. can they see it? >> issue here, a lot of folks, april is usually a month of severe weather. depending on where you are right now, locations have been watching the chatter online. folks are heading to arkansas and missouri. you're about to see why, the cloud cover right now, as we should overlay in cloud cover

except for the part about the sun. ws the moon is the real star here. >> oh, i'm sorry, jordan. well, the moon is supporting. the sun is the star here. i mean, it's a literal star. i'm sorry they didn't teach that in american kindergarten. >> obviously, i meant star metaphorically. they must not teach metaphors wherever you went to community college. the sun is not why people are putting aside their differences and coming together, dipshit. they're watching the moon cross over the sun. unlike you, most people don't stare at the sun all day. >> desi: okay, guys, let's not fall apart over this. the sun and the moon are equally important here. >> oh, sure, yeah, equally important. because if the sun disappears, i mean, all that happens is everything we love freezes to death. god forbid the moon goes away. then it will be, what, harder to surf? and jordan doesn't get his period anymore! >> you put some respect on the moon! it's our cultural touchstone! "goodnight moon." "moonlight sonata." "when the moon hits your eye like

the sun starting to burn off. there's a little optimism here. so many people getting creative with this magical moment. the town in russellville, arkansas, are going to be professing their love for each other. 300 couples tying the knot, paying $100 each to attend the festival. if you buy the ticket, the wedding's free. here we have nasa just over there. they picked this community because they anticipated to have one of the best views of the eclipse. we'll witness it after it travels from mexico. the time of totality there 4:28. we're looking at a solid 4:24. the excitement only building here in the texas hill country. >> from there in texas to ohio and jessie kirsch where this event is not only so important for the locals, it's a big draw for eclipse tourism too. talk to us about the crowds you're seeing there and what this event is doing for local economies. >> reporter: ana, literally we're talking about tens of thousands of people expected to be rocking out for this eclipse. the rock 'n roll hall of fame is off camera here. we're also at a na

to take a bit out of the sun. f the moon's shadow, only part of the sun is covered. the moon will block the sunlight for about two hours from start to finish. for the bay area, the most the moon will block the sun will be 35%, starting at 10:14, peaking at 11:13, and ending at 12:15. we will have a mostly clear sky, but others in the path of totality are not so lucky. i'll send it back to you, laura and marcus. >>> more than 30 million people expected to be in the path of totality and that means a short period in total darkness. >> provided the weather cooperates, there may be no better place to see the junction between the sun and moon and earth than junction, texas. that's where we find "today in the bay's" jay gray this morning. >> reporter: the eclipse begins its u.s. journey in texas, and in the heart of the hill country history getting a proper lone star welcome. riding and roping. picking and grinning. a washer's tournament and sipping eclipse wine from a texas vineyard. the festival turning the eclipse into

the moon almost fully blocking out the sun. were anywhere else, it was like when you accidentally leave your shades open an inch. not so interesting. all across the country today, americans were clamoring for eclipse glasses. it was kind of nice to see people lined up at drug stores again for something other than toilet paper. they were very hard to come by i guess. and now they are all in the garbage. we have no use for them. i bought a pack of cardboard glasses from amazon last week. because i was a cub scout, and i like to be prepared. and this morning, we put them on, my wife, my kids, we went outside. and as we were looking up to the sky into this black hole of cornea-burning ultraviolet light, i realized i have no idea if these work. i'm just trusting. i'm trusting that my eyeballs, the eyeballs of everyone in my family to the people who mail me beard oil and wiper blades. but i'm fine. it was quite a sight. and if you're excited about the eclipse, wait until you hear about nighttime. it goes on for hours! and it is aweso

there are gigantic nuclear explosions that are happening all the time on the sun. see them as little peaks coming out the edge. they might seem quite small compared to the size of the sun. they are absolutely enormous. sun can be the size of the entire earth. -- some can be the size of the entire earth. this is only something you will see for a few moments as the clips is getting to you. -- as the eclipse is getting to you. the last 10 minutes is the most fun because you will notice the gradual darkening, but that darkening will all of a sudden in the next few minutes start speeding up, and before you know it you will see the beads, you will see the diamond ring effect, there will be cheers all around you. and then the coronas fear will reveal it -- chromosphere will reveal itself in all its majesty. that is if it is not cloudy where you are. but even in parts of the country where it is cloudy, it is still an incredible effect, because in some ways the awesome nature of what you see can take your mind away from the other things that are going on the drop in tempera

, projecting the image of a sun on a a white light board where you can see the record of sun spotstes all the way back to 1755 that's helped us establish that average 11-year cycle but, of course, technology has evolved tremendously over the last 20, 30, 40 years so now we have all sorts of instruments in space taking pictures of the sun, monitoring the sun's surface, monitoring the corona. and then a million miles out, one spacecraft and closer to earth more measuring the sun and all sorts of instruments measuring different types of emissions from the sun and how they're affecting the technology and the earth's atmosphere. >> tell us more about the practical effects on earth and maybe even in space? >> these eruptions, when they occur there's all sorts of emissions and whether a flare occurs there's a blast of radio magnetic radiation. it can affect aircraft, communications. aircraft communicating with the ground can have interference. we get these big energetic blast of particles following soon after the flare. they can affect satellites. they affect the astronauts in space, whic

moving part of the sun. yeah, i mean it's nice to get the service and the moon today to do that for as i understand nasa is conducting experiments, but they've got by planes flying in the sky during this. why we, why is a toyota solar eclipse, a good time to conduct experiments? well, 1st of all, it's, it's far better in many ways. and, you know, these part official things you could do because the way the mood is and so forth. and you're able to see detail that you really can't see with just the telescope of a little disk in front of it. and what they do is they fly the jets on the pass for the shadow is it goes across the or service. meanwhile, those people up with the space they should will be looking down and we'll see if you, which is a bit later you can sort of see the shadow creeping across the united states up to the bridge looking out to the atlantic ocean. but like flying and there's just path, you get more than 4 and a half minutes. you can get 101520 minutes depending how fast you are hired. so we

then i noticed that as soon as the moon covered the sun, the air temperature dropped by about 8°. swept across the country, with 300 pairs in rakansas. decided to exchange rings to legitimize their relationship on this dark april day in cleveland, nasa organized a live broadcast from the local rock and roll hall of fame to the songs of pink floyd, david bowey and taylor swift. a completely different soundtrack - roar millions of liters of falling water accompanied eclipse spectators around the neagara falls on both sides of the us-canadian border. tens of hundreds of satellites of private planes and rockets recorded 4 minutes of darkness from different altitudes. for international viewing in the usa. it was an international review. let's keep shining, don't fade. this is not necessary. it needs to be like this, like this, like this. it's clear? i understand. this is how the tefal ironing system is sold at the megamarket for rub 29,990. a. great car, i agree, perfect, just need to change the oil, let's stop by, and you have the ideal oil for my car, here is an excellent oil, growth

on the surface of the sun. siy, we know that in... the states today this is probably the main news, please tell me why people are interested in this, you talked to people who are watching it where you are now, what are they telling you? yes, actually a lot of people are very interested in this, firstly because it is very rare, as we mentioned the last time it was observed seven years ago and the next time it will be in 21 years and it is unique to see this moment when the moon is located between the earth and the sun, almost completely covers it. him, now many people have gathered here who have special equipment, such as special glasses, to be able to observe this phenomenon and not to harm their vision, and also many people simply understand that in the future, in order to look at this phenomenon, it may be necessary to go to another country, so such a dense solar eclipse in densely populated areas in the future will be observed only in 26- m year in spain, for example. in the united states, we will have to wai

you can just project an image of the sun onto another surface. e something like this handy, just use a nearby tree. the leaves from a tree will naturally produce a series of pinholes. each of those will produce a little tiny image of the sun. >> reporter: and while jeff knows exactly where the path of totality is -- >> i'm so looking forward to it. >> reporter: -- we don't know exactly what the weather will be like. clear skies are anything but certain along the path of totality. >> well, one of the first lessons that an astronomer learns is that weather wins. >> reporter: there's always the year 2044. >> right. >> reporter: that's the next time a total solar eclipse visits the continental u.s. >> you can join us monday for eclipse watch. our special coverage of the solar eclipse starts at 10:00 a.m. streaming on cbs news bay area. find us on the free cbs news app or on pluto tv. i'm actually excited to see this. i know, darren, you were kind of trying to bring us down to earth not to get too excited, but even if it's just a little sliver, it's ki

the sun's atmosphere, the corona is visible and you can see flash on the sun surface. some of them the size of our own planet. a solar eclipse is the consequence of a caustic coincidence. the sun and the moon appeared the same size in our sky. even though the sun is some 400 times larger and every now and then the moon passes directly between us and the sun, blocking out its lights and creating a path where when eclipse is visible. for those in the center of the path, the eclipse is total. with every kilometer you move of that path, the coverage gets less. a total eclipse usually happens once or twice every yes, somewhere around us. but it's not often that the pos of totality processed through a densely populated colorado, like this one from mexico, through the united states and into canada. and just the southern, as it disappeared, the sun returns. the sky is again filled with lights. as the moon's shadow dissipates, but those who stood in its path, well, remember it forever. your watching d. w, and you see is a reminder of on top story period, the you are a fee and co

you obviously don't want to look directly at the sun. l be putting a special filter on the telescope for people to look at the sun safely. you can also buy an inexpensive pair of eclipse glasses that block out about 99% of the sun's rays. >> we have a balcony and we have our own telescope, but they told us that we should use these because we can't look at the sun, we would need a special lens for that. >> reporter: unfortunately, we here in the bay area will only have a partial solar eclipse. as you can see on your screen, other parts of the country, namely the midwest and northeast, will experience total darkness. airbnb says nine out of ten rentals inside that corridor are sold out. the lawrence hall of science here in berkeley will have a viewing party. the robert ferguson center, the chabot space and science center, which is sold out. the skies are clear as we're looking over berkeley and the rest of the bay, and it is expected to stay that way through the eclipse, which is great. reporting live in the hills over berkeley, bob redell.

. >>> and later, total eclipse of the sun. we'll help you get ready for monday's big show in the sky. ♪♪ >>> thank you so much for joining us on this friday. i'm ana cabrera. it is 10:00 eastern, and we begin with the breaking news. the idf releasing the results of its investigation into that deadly air strike that killed seven aid workers from world central kitchen in gaza. the report calling it a grave mistake and detailing how the idf, quote, mistakenly assumed hamas gunmen were inside the world central kitchen vehicles. israel also saying two high-ranking members of the idf have now been dismissed from their posts and three others formally reprimanded. world central kitchen responding to this report saying it's a start but not enough and demanding an independent investigation right away. joining us now is nbc news meagan fitzgerald, nbc's allie raffa at the white house, and joel rubin, former deputy assistant secretary of state in the obama administration. let's start with meagan. walk us through this report. >> reporter: t

the first contact is the moment the moon in its orbit around the sun touches the edge of the sun. act is when we hit the diamond ring when the leading edge of the moon touches the opposite side of the sun. now the moon which is larger than the sun on the sky, is continuing to move when the trailing edge touches the sun again, the second diamond ring, that is the third contact. as the sun -- as the moon completely emerges from the disk of the sun and steps off, that is the fourth contact. there are four contacts of note and the second and third are what are the most important. reporter: your natural instinct is to look at the sun but it is worth looking around and see what is happening around you. >> we have all sat under the trees like that for four and you see these mottled circles of light. it is easy to think to yourself that that is light coming through the trees. but it is actual images of the sun created by pathways through the leaves. during an eclipse, the circles of light turned in to crescents. reporter: the point is, take a moment to look around you and absorb the enviro

action is being taken against the sun newspaper. legal action against i the mirror group over allegations of phone hacking. who did you hack? be quicker to say who i didn't hack, wouldn't it? it would be easier. celebrities, politicians. i was living in this sort of superhighway of illicit information. it was exciting. you felt like a spy. i don't know to this day how many people have heard my deepest secrets, my desires. but phone hacking was not practised by the mail on sunday or the daily mail. you have just about anybody who's ever appeared - in a tabloid newspaper saying, "give me large wodges- "of cash, please." i think it's actually a legal scandal. i it's not the money i'm after. it's to expose their guilt. it's justice. as long ago as i can remember, all i ever wanted to do was act. that was it. that's my only memory. i've been lucky that i have loved myjob. but the other side of it, which i was completely and utterly unprepared for, was overwhelming. i fell very much in love with my first co—star and got papped with him, an

the month of april is full of sun surprises. ind me giving away all kinds of fox weather swag during the eclipse party. we have the weather beast out front and have a big presence for this big event. the last total solar eclipse was 2017. the next one happens in 2044. if you don't get a chance to get to this one today you have another two decades to wait. in new york city it will be a partial eclipse with 90% coverage. maximum coverage will be right around 3:25 this afternoon and we'll all have a good time looking up and using our protective eye wear to see it clearly. i don't know if you experienced this, but the city is more calm today. a lot of people took off from work and school to see the eclipse. >> bill: it's a monday post covid. you know the trick. nick, i'll be with the ladies from "outnumbered" and seen you at noon. stand by. >> dana: we may be getting excited to witness the rare solar eclipse. but it could be confusing for animals. the indianapolis zoo will see four minutes of complete darkness. the zoo is studying ho
