All right, we've got three more days before the solar eclipse happens and there's a lot of anticipation building for this awe-inspiring moment, in large part because a total solar eclipse like this one won't be visible again in the United States until the year 2044.

How old will you be 20 years from now?

During the solar eclipse on April 8th, more than 30 million people in the U.S. who are located along the path of totality will potentially have their view of the sun completely blocked by the moon, but location and weather are key.

Our Kristin Fisher has more on this celestial spectacle that many of us will get to experience.

A total solar eclipse like this one will not be visible from the United States again until 2044, so 20 years from now.

That's why we're seeing so many people scrambling to try to find the best weather and get in position to see this on Monday.

There are a few other things that make this eclipse really unique and the first is the length of time for totality.

That's the moment when the moon completely blocks out the sun and that's when day will literally turn to night, so dark that the stars come out, nocturnal animals come out.

That is how dark it gets and so that moment of totality for this eclipse is much longer than it was in previous eclipses.

At the longest point it'll be about four minutes and 30 seconds, so that's a good amount of time to really get to soak in the power of nature in our solar system.
