What Exactly Is the American Eclipse?

by | May 4, 2017 | Eclipses

During August to 21st, 2017, you will be able to witness the first American Total Eclipse since 1979. Because this occurs in August, there is every possibility that the American eclipse can be viewed perfectly across a 50 to a 70-mile band from Oregon to South Carolina.

Get Close to The Perfect Location

By making sure that you are close to the best path to observe the American eclipse of 2017, you will need some preparation to ensure that you can complete the task successfully as you may never receive another opportunity during your lifespan.

First, go online and purchase safety glasses so that you can observe the entire process safely and efficiently. There are periods when the moon and the sun are not in perfect alignment before and after the total eclipse. You will want to observe the entire movement of the moon across the sun, and when the two are not in strict alignment, there is a severe chance of damaging your eyes if you are not wearing solar eclipse glasses.

While the moon is perfectly blocking the entirety of the sun – the total solar eclipse – your eyes should be safe from damage as you observe this incredible moment, but you should wear your total solar eclipse glasses across the entire American eclipse so that you can be sure your eyes are safely protected.

Should you not observe the eclipse from the best possible locations, you may see a partial eclipse when the sun is masked by the moon, but not completely.

There will be weather reports and times telling you the best locations to observe the American eclipse in the few days before it is due.

There is substantial chance that you will be able to observe the entire total eclipse of the sun because of the time of the year, the expected weather and your use of safety glasses to protect your eyes from damage.
