Preparations Underway for Monday's Total Solar Eclipse in the US | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Preparations are underway for Monday's total solar eclipse. In New York, the baseball game between the Miami Marlins and Yankees has been pushed back 4 hours over concerns of in-game delays from the darkness. Also in New York, 6 prison inmates will be allowed to watch the eclipse after filing a lawsuit. The state originally planned to lock down its prisons during the celestial event. The total solar eclipse means the sun will be completely covered by the moon. The next time this will be viewable by most of the United States will come in the year 2044. Adjunct Scholar at the Vatican Observatory, Chris Graney, tells us more about this phenomenon and how rare a total solar eclipse is. One of his colleagues at the Vatican Observatory says a total solar eclipse is "one of the most breathtaking sights all of nature has to offer." Graney discusses how dark it will become on Earth and whether there is a chance it will look like nighttime even in the early afternoon. Graney tells us what some of his tips are for people who want to see the eclipse. Graney fills us in on how he will be following the eclipse. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
