Total Solar Eclipse 2017, Will You Be Somewhere You Can See It?

in #space7 years ago

A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.

So no total solar eclipse for me judging by the map below, but maybe it will pass through your state!
