Total Solar Eclipse @ Oregon to South Carolina

Via Astronomy Club of Asheville:

While all of North America will experience a partial solar eclipse on the afternoon of Monday, August 21st, only those under the eclipse’s “path of totality” – the Moon’s 70-mile wide shadow as it sweeps across the Earth from Oregon to South Carolina – will see a total solar eclipse. Asheville is not under this path and therefore will not see totality.

Check out this helpful interactive path of totality map: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/interactive_map/index.html

And to learn more about why you should travel to the path of totality, visit the Astronomy Club of Asheville’s page dedicated to the Great American Eclipse here: http://www.astroasheville.org/2017-total-solar-eclipse/
