This Event Will Not Happen Again For 28 Years, Time To Travel


Total Solar Eclipse 2017

Update: Did you get glasses to watch the eclipse? You don't have to just throw them out. You can donate your eclipse glasses to schools outside the U.S. Astronomers Without Borders is offering to collect them ahead of eclipses in South America and Asia.

On August 21, 2017, there will be a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse that has not been seen in nearly 100 years. The next total solar eclipse over North America will be on April 8, 2024. An eclipse with a similar path across U.S. will not be back until August of 2045.
It is estimated that between 1.5 million and 5 million people may travel into the path of the eclipse.
