The Total Solar Eclipse of 2017

Live Experience of Historic Total solar eclipse of Aug 21, 2017

Solar Eclipse : A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon's apparent diameter is larger than the sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.

Total Solar Eclipse :  On Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina.

Great American Eclipse :  On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse, frequently referred to as the "Great American Eclipse", is visible within a band across the entire contiguous United States passing from the Pacific to the Atlantic coast. In other countries it will only be visible as a partial eclipse. I was lucky to see the Total solar Eclipse from Beaverton, Oregon. It was not 100% almost 95% total eclipse we are able to view from Beaverton.
