       A sequence of images showing the Moon covering increasing amounts of   
      the Sun is shown, with the center image showing a total solar eclipse.   
        The great corona of the Sun can be seen around the dark moon in the   
      center image. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

      Explanation: Will the sky be clear enough to see the eclipse? This   
      question is already on the minds of many North Americans hoping to see   
      tomorrow's solar eclipse. This question was also on the mind of many   
      people attempting to see the total solar eclipse that crossed North   
      America in August 2017. Then, the path of total darkness shot across   
      the mainland of the USA from coast to coast, from Oregon to South   
      Carolina -- but, like tomorrow's event, a partial eclipse occurred   
      above most of North America. Unfortunately, in 2017, many locations saw   
      predominantly clouds. One location that did not was a bank of the Green   
      River Lakes, Wyoming. Intermittent clouds were far enough away to allow   
      the center image of the featured composite sequence to be taken, an   
      image that shows the corona of the Sun extending out past the central   
      dark Moon that blocks our familiar Sun. The surrounding images show the   
      partial phases of the solar eclipse both before and after totality.
