The first place in North America to experience the totality stage of the solar eclipse, whereby the moon covers 100% of the sun's disk will be Mazatlán in Sinaloa, Mexico, with totality beginning at 11:07 a.m. MST (1:07 p.m. EDT) and lasting for 4 minutes 20 seconds.
The total solar eclipse will then cross two more Mexican cities, Durango and Coahuila. Next, the path of totality will enter the U.S. in Texas before moving across 15 U.S. States before heading into Canada.
With over 32 million people living within the path of totality across the U.S. alone, this is shaping up to be one of the most watched solar eclipses ever.

You can view the entire path of totality including start and end times for different stages of the solar ellipse at each location in this helpful interactive map from NASA.
If you cannot watch the eclipse in person you can the sun and Earth and casts a shadow on our planet. During a total solar eclipse, for locations within the path of totality — the 115-mile (185-kilometer) wide route through North America — observers will be able to see the moon cover 100% of the sun's disk.
