Officials determined Lebanon, New Jersey, to be the epicenter of the seismic event that started at 10:23 a.m. (EST) and struck 4.7 kilometers below the surface. [Four aftershocks followed]( in the next five hours. [Homes were damaged]( in New Jersey, and air traffic at John F. Kennedy, Newark Liberty, and LaGuardia airports was affected. New York City tunnels, bridges, buildings, and subways were also assessed for damage. Officials believe the earthquake to be one of the largest on the East Coast in the last century. [Article Icon 1] A Rare Total Solar Eclipse Monday A rare total solar eclipse will move across North America on Monday, giving millions an opportunity to experience [temporarily darkened skies]( as the moon blocks the face of the sun. The eclipse’s path is expected to cast the moon’s shadow over Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Other states will be treated to a partial solar eclipse. [You can see a map here](. Experts advise those viewing the phenomenon to [wear special eclipse glasses](, make and use an indirect viewing device like a pinhole projector, or view live footage on a screen. The [next total solar eclipse]( will occur in 2026. It will mostly pass over the Arctic Ocean, with some visibility in Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, and northern Spain.
