In this sped-up clip from space, published by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, a patch of darkness is seen as the Moon completely covered the face of the Sun for approximately one minute. People in the eclipses path either saw total darkness or a ring of fire as the sun emerged from behind the new moon. Eclipses like this only happen around once every decade; the next one is not due until 2031.
