How dark will it get?
The darkness across the land in the path of totality during a total solar eclipse will be comparable to a night with a full moon, but slightly more eerie and wonderful. Many people have reported that some animals become quiet and even go to sleep, thinking that night has fallen!

The eclipse makes the daytime sky dark enough for stars and planets to be seen. Away from the path of totality, the sky will not get significantly darker and the surrounding stars and planets will still be invisible.
