On August 21st, 2017 a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible in the United States along a 70 mile wide path from Oregon to South Carolina. This will be the first total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States since 1979. A truly rare and once in a lifetime event! Learn about the history of eclipses, how and why they happen and how to best prepare to view the year's best astronomical event!
