THE GREAT AMERICAN
SOLAR eclipse

Where can I see the Total Solar Eclipse?

The Big Solar Eclipse for the United States is coming this month on August 21st. The First Total Eclipse in the US since 1979 will spand the entire country from West to East but only a small band of about 70 miles wide will witness the Full Total Eclipse. Just 12 states will witness the Total Eclipse with all the other states seeing a Partial Eclipse. Check the map and information below to see if your state is one of the lucky 12.

The map aboves shows the path of the Total Eclipse on August 21st. Of the states in the Total Eclipse path some will get a good view with the path spanning the state for east to west while others will only see the Total Eclipse in a small area. If you are not in the 70 miles wide area you will still witness Partial Eclipse of the sun. For more information on Safely Viewing the Solar Eclipse CLICK HERE.
