As you’re probably aware, there will be a solar eclipse 2017 August 21. Below is an animation created by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio showing the path of the Moon’s shadow across the United States. The total eclipse will be visible only from areas of the small dark shadow. Farther away you’ll experience a partial eclipse in which the lunar disk blocks only part of the sun.

Important: Before viewing an eclipse, always check out safety tips from reliable websites such as Space.com (as in this link). Don’t go by rumor.
