It will cover most of the US and Canada and will happen on August 21st.

Here's a .gif from NASA of whereabouts it'll be covering. https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEanimate/SEanimate2001/SE2017Aug21T.GIF

I'll probably remind you guys again a month or so in advance and will certainly tell you all the day before as well.


I'm pretty excited to see it. I made a reminder a for it a couple years ago.

"Most of the US and Canada"

Looks like the whole darn continent to me, that'll be pretty cool.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

I think the shadow is just where you'll see some eclipse rather than a total eclipse. I'm not sure. It's certainly on an ideal path for whole continent to see it though.

Yeah you gotta go to specific places to see a total eclipse. I already have a trip planned to go see it.

I'd love to do that, but I don't really feel like driving a few hours for something that's ultimately just a 5 minute or so long thing.

I think where I live should see it mostly eclipsed. I got some special eclipse glasses ready for it already. Don't look directly at the sun!

Where I am, we'll have a 99% total (live in Northern Alabama, and the eclipse line goes through Nashville).

I'm disappointed, I'm from Kansas City, which is like dead center on the path, but I moved to Minnesota a while back, so I'll only get partial.

Might be passed out by that time
I get back from Europe the day before, so jetlag will be kicking my ass.

Well, if you miss it, there will be one directly on Calgary in 2044, I think.

Well, the eclipse will happen regardless of if you miss this one or not.

But the real question is...will it be a total eclipse of the heart?

The most affected zone is only a few hours south of where I live, in Southern Illinois. I'll probably go camp in Shawnee National Forest for this.
