What kind of eclipse you are likely to see? Let our visualizations show you

The path of the eclipse is 70 miles wide - meaning most of the US will see a partial eclipse. Mona Chalabi's visualization will give you a sense of what you should prepare yourself for

A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, the first in 38 years. As the moon passes in front of the sun, a shadow will be cast across all of North America. But the way that will look depends on where you are in the country.

The path of the total eclipse (when none of the sun is visible) is only 70 miles wide, so unless you're an eclipse chaser and willing to travel, you're more likely to see a partial eclipse.
