2017 Total Solar Eclipse

2017 Total Solar Eclipse

 

We are officially less than one week away from the 2017 Solar Eclipse. For the first time in 38 years, the 70 mile wide total solar eclipse, will stretch across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina. Throughout the day, the Solar Eclipse will pass through Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The states that are listed will be in the path of a total solar eclipse while all others will be able to see only a partial solar eclipse.

It is also important to remember to take safety measures when viewing this unforgettable experience. According to Space.com, “During totality, when the sun’s disk is completely covered by the moon, it is safe to view the eclipse with the naked eye. But sky watchers should NEVER look at a partial solar eclipse without proper eye protection. Looking directly at the sun, even when it is partially covered by the moon, can cause serious eye damage or blindness.” To see their complete guide of how to view the eclipse safely, click here.
