Total Solar Eclipse will first take place in North America, when the Moon covers 100% of the Sun's disk.

In Mexico, the totality will begin at 11:07am MST and last for 4 minutes 20 seconds, according to Space.

Then, the Total Solar Eclipse will cross two more Mexican cities, Durango and Coahuila.

Before moving across 15 US States before heading into Canada, the path of totality will enter the US in Texas.
