The Great American Total Eclipse of 2017

[Bouncer]

Will be the first one since 1979.

Scrum, I'll be disappointed in you if you don't make the drive to see this. It's not gonna be far from you. Rip, you're not too far from it either.



One Year From Now, America Will See Its First Total Solar Eclipse Since 1979

Here is a good interactive map so you can see from your location exactly what time everything will happen and how much percentage of coverage you will see.

My NASA approved eclipse sunglasses for my family just came in today. Looks like we should see 91% coverage from where we are.

Yes it's all over the news.Looks like late afternoon if I'm reading that chart right chuck..problem with that here. This time of the year we have lots of pop up thunderstorms starting about 4 .With my luck it'll be a wash out from clouds. If not...We should have a great view of it here.

Damn, looks like I am in the best spot here in NC.

its gonna be an 80% eclipse for NorCal so not full coverage of the sun but still cool.

Actually, parts of western NC lie smack in the middle of the path of totality. Andrews, NC is in the center of the path of totality.
