On Monday August 21, 2017 there will be a total solar eclipse visible right across America from west coast to east coast. Witnessing a solar eclipse is a truly magnificent and memorable experience for anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to observe this extraordinary event. This is the first total eclipse of the Sun visible from all 48 contiguous United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) since 1979 - 38 years ago! The last time a total eclipse was visible from coast to coast was June 8, 1918.
You can experience the eclipse in North America, Canada, North/West South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic. It will also be partially visible from the the western edge of Europe including the United Kingdom and Ireland, North/East Asia and North/West Africa.

If you want to be one of the first people to experience the total solar eclipse be on the beach in Oregon, at a rocky piece of ground slightly north of Newport at 10:15:56 a.m. PDT. The total eclipse will last 1m 58s.
Everyone in the continental U.S. will see at least a partial eclipse, the Moon will cover at least 49 percent of the Sun’s surface. The center line of totality crosses through 10 states including:
- Idaho, 11:25 a.m. MDT
- Wyoming 11:49 a.m. MDT
- Kansas 1:04 p.m. CDT
- Kentucky 1:24 p.m. CDT
- Tennessee 1:26 p.m. CDT
- Georgia 2:35 p.m. EDT
- South Carolina 2:36 p.m. EDT
- All timings are approximate.
The extreme north east part of Georgia does experience some totality. It lasts a maximum of 2m 40s. To experience that length, you’ll need to be slightly south of Carbondale, Illinois, in Giant City State Park.
Never attempt to point a pair of binoculars or a telescope at the Sun.
Doing so may result in immediate and permanent blindness.
Nashville will have the greatest views. The city center and parts north of it will experience 2+ minutes of totality. Unfortunately, that’s the only large city with a great view.

What is a Solar Eclipse
Courtesy of timeanddate.com
Solar eclipses happen when the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's rays and casting a shadow on the Earth. Solar eclipses can only take place during a new Moon.
The next total solar eclipse after August 21, 2017 over the continental U.S. occurs on April 8, 2024, the duration of totality lasts at least 3m 22s on the east coast extending to 4m 27s in south west Texas.
Safety Warning
Never observe the sun with the naked eye or through a telescope, binoculars, camera or other optical device. Doing so will cause serious damage your eye sight and may lead to permanent blindness. Both the eye and artificial optical devices concentrate the extremely strong ultraviolet light from the sun onto the retina. This can permanently destroy the retina's ability to detect light. To safely observe a solar eclipse you must use solar eclipse glasses like our
UV Brite™ Shades or use indirect methods such as pin hole projection onto a suitable surface.
You will put your eye sight at risk by only wearing regular sunglasses or shades to directly view the sun.
These UV Brite™ Shades are also suitable for spectacle wearers.
Our UV Brite™ Shades meet the standard for ISO 12312-2:2015. They are CE certified and are absolutely safe for direct solar viewing. They provide the ultimate in protection from harmful solar radiation. The UV Brite™ Shades lenses are made of exclusive scratch resistant optical density 5 black polymer material with mirror coating on one side, filtering out 100% of harmful ultraviolet, 100% of harmful infrared, and 99.9999% of intense visible light. These premium filters create a sharper orange colour image of the sun. They meet the transmission requirements of scale 12-16 of EN 169/1992. They meet the 2012 Transmission Requirements of EN 1836:2005 & AS/NZS 1338.1:1992 for Eclipse filters.
