In an incredibly rare interstellar event, towns and cities in central Africa will be plunged into darkness as a special kind of total eclipse blocks out the sun.
The event will miss the UK, but you can watch the live video stream from Kenya.
The dramatic event, known as a hybrid eclipse, will see the sun become a "ring of fire" as it lines up perfectly with the sun.
The last recorded eclipse of this kind occurred on November 20, 1854, and it won't happen again until October 17, 2172.
The whole eclipse is expected to last for around four hours.
The event will only be seen in tiny slices of North America, Uganda and northern Kenya, from where astronomers are broadcasting crystal clear images of the eclipse to the world.
