This should be an interesting event. This is the first time we are having a total solar eclipse in over 90 years.
All of North America will see at least a partial solar eclipse on Aug. 21, 2017, and a 70-mile-wide swath of the country from coast to coast will get a total eclipse. MICHAEL ZEILER, WWW.GREATAMERICANECLIPSE.COM
A total solar eclipse as seen from Easter Island on July 11, 2010. The super-heated corona, normally invisible in the glare of the unobstructed sun, extends into space in a shimmering halo that will be visible to millions during a coast-to-coast total eclipse Aug. 21.
