On Aug. 12, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across parts of North America and most of Canada. While the continent won't experience the same totality as parts of Europe will, it will still be a rare opportunity to witness an exciting solar event.

August is already shaping up to be one of the best months for skygazing in recent memory, and the hits just keep on coming. In addition to a planet parade, a meteor shower and a solar eclipse, there is also a lunar eclipse set for the end of August for those in North and South America.
