On April 8, the moon will slip in front of the sun, blocking its light and creating an eerie twilight in the middle of the day. Stars will come out, the air will get cold, colors will dance around the horizon. It's a full-body experience born from the total solar eclipse that will be visible from North America. Today on the show, <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/1082526815/regina-g-barber">Regina G. Barber</a> talks to NPR science correspondent <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/4494969/nell-greenfieldboyce">Nell Greenfieldboyce</a> about why some people say this experience is one of the most beautiful celestial events you can see – and how to prepare for it.
