Today's Morning Edition music is from Iron Maiden with "Total Eclipse." It's one of the songs on a playlist put together by NPR's World Cafe in honor of Monday's solar eclipse.

Another song on the playlist, "Eclipse" by Pink Floyd, is the final track on their 1973 album "Dark Side of the Moon."

Celebrated astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said recently that he wishes the album had a different title. He frequently has to explain that there is no dark side of the moon. All sides are lit by the sun at various times.
