Sputnik is live from New York City and Washington DC, where people will have a rare glimpse of a solar eclipse, which usually occurs every 18 months on average. This happens when the Earth, moon and sun align to form a rare and amazing sight. The event is set to begin at 5:42 a.m. local time (9:42 a.m. GMT), reach its peak at 5:47 a.m. (9:47 a.m. GMT) and end at 6:29 a.m. (10:29 a.m. GMT).
