This time around, the path of totality is much wider than it was in 2017 stretching 122 miles as opposed to 71 miles. Fifteen states will be included from Texas to Maine.
The basic story behind the solar eclipse is simple: The moon as it orbits around the earth passes in front of the sun every now and then.
