The ‘Great American Eclipse’ less than two months away

Two months from now, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the US.

It’s been 99 years since a total solar eclipse crossed the country from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

It’s being called the “Great American Eclipse.”

On August 21, 2017, 14 states will experience about two minutes of darkness as the eclipse crosses from coast to coast between 10:15 a.m. Pacific time in Oregon until about 2:45 p.m. Eastern time in South Carolina.

If you live elsewhere in North America, a portion of the sun will partially disappear near midday.

Most Texans will reportedly be able to experience 75% darkness.
