If you're like me, you'll be looking to the sky on August 21, 2017. The biggest and best solar eclipse in American history arrives in full display. That is if the clouds don't rain down on our parade.
It's been called a rare, mind-blowing cosmic experience and a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event.
On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will be visible from the east coast to the west coast, according to NASA. It will be the first total eclipse visible only in the USA since 1776. (Also the only one to sweep across the entire country since 1918.
What is a total eclipse, you may ask. It occurs when the moon gets in the way of the sun, turning day to an eerie twilight. The eclipse will start in Oregon, ending in South Carolina, lasting 2 or 3 minutes.
Approximately 12 million people live within the path of totality, according to space.com
