TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE - The Great American Eclipse, Streaming Live from the U.S.A
Today (August 21, 2017) Beginning at 10:15 a.m. PDT, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States.
This will be the first time since 1918 that a solar eclipse has fully crossed the United States- which many are considering a "once in a lifetime" opportunity.
Millions of people are expected to travel to this “path of totality” to watch as the moon entirely covers the face of the Sun.
The eclipse will hit land on the coast of Oregon at 10:15 a.m. PDT. It will sweep across the country, touching Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina before ending its land passage and heading out to sea just after 4:00 p.m. EDT.
Safety Tips:
- Please don’t attempt to photograph the eclipse with your phone while driving, or engage with your phone in any way.
- Make sure you have plenty of fuel in your car.
- Purchase NASA-approved eclipse glasses, and use them.
- Do your research in advance. If you must be on the road during the eclipse, plan to be at a rest area well before it reaches its maximum impact in your area. If you are planning to travel to an area in the path of totality, please arrive 1-2 days in advance, especially in more populated areas.
