CONSPIRACY theories about the solar eclipse have swept the United States ahead of the rare phenomenon next week.
The flurry of bogus worries online come as the total solar eclipse will be visible across parts of North America on April 8.
During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and the earth, completely blocking the face of the sun.
The sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, is visible during a total solar eclipse, giving viewers a unique opportunity to have a look at it.
This year’s eclipse will begin over the South Pacific Ocean at 11:07 am PST and cross North America, passing over Mexico, the US, and Canada.
Fifteen states are in the path of totality, along with major cities like San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Montreal.
