Solar eclipse of July 20, 1963

A total solar eclipse occurred on July 20, 1963. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

It also served an important function in the plots of two Stephen King novels, ''Gerald's Game'' (1992) and ''Dolores Claiborne'' (1992) and was featured in a season 3 episode of ''Mad Men'' titled "Seven Twenty Three" (2009).〔Episode 7: Seven Twenty Three (Details tab) http://www.amctv.com/shows/mad-men/episodes/season-3/seven-twenty-three〕 John Updike mentioned the eclipse in his 1968 novel ''Couples'', saying "()nly one other time had been so ominous (those years ), the Wednesday in October of 1962 when Kennedy had faced Khrushchev over Cuba".〔Updike, John, ''Couples'' (Albert A. Knopf, 1968) pp. 223-4. "()t had been ninety per cent at their latitude (Boston ). An invisible eater moved through the sun's disc amid a struggle of witnessing clouds.
