US-SCIENCE-ECLIPSE

Norm Vargas holds a filter through which one can see the moon covering a part of the sun - without damaging the eye - during a partial eclipse of the sun as visotors have a view through a telescope at Mt. Wilson Observatory on Mt. Wilson, a 5,710-foot peak in the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los Angeles. Solar eclipses occur when the moon, sun and Earth are aligned in such a way that from a portion of the Earth, the shadow of the moon blocks out the sun and in a case as today during a partial eclipse, the sun is never entirely obscured by the moon.
