This is a once in a lifetime event for the world but especially for the USA. People from all over are flocking to key locations culminating in Charleston, SC. These points of interest are where the highest percentage of coverage the eclipse viewing experience will be. It's called the path of totality. Gas prices have gone up, eclipse glasses are sold out. Hotels are booked to max. All for the opportunity to be in the dark during a time when light normally reigns. There have been t shirts created, mugs, stickers and anything else to commemorate this historic moment. As you experience this phenomenon, don't forget that just because the sun is shadowed by the moon, the risk of eye damage is no less. For those who missed out on getting the solar eclipse glasses, don't attempt to make a diy set of glasses unless you do your homework first. Be safe and have fun. There's one souvenir creator who's jumped ahead of the pack and made a t shirt to commemorate the 2017 eclipse by providing a shirt that displays the opportunity taken by eclipse viewers who traveled to a location that fell within the path of totality.
