On August 21, 2017, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from
the contiguous United States for the first time since 1979. The track
of the Moon's shadow cuts diagonally across the nation from Oregon to
South Carolina. Inside the 68-mile-wide path of totality, the Moon
will completely cover the Sun as the landscape is plunged into an
eerie twilight, and the Sun's glorious corona is revealed for over 2
minutes.
Fred Espenak, NASA's "Mr. Eclipse" (retired) will present a detailed
preview of this exciting event with maps, photos and weather prospects
along the eclipse path based on his recent book on the same
subject. He will also share some some of his eclipse experiences with
us through photos and video. Find out what it's like to stand in the
Moon's shadow and get ready for 2017.
