yisman Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm planning to drive to South Carolina. http://time.com/4750899/total-solar-eclipse/ For the first time in U.S. history, a total solar eclipse that crosses the country from coast to coast will be visible only in America. The rare celestial spectacle in August has been dubbed “The Great American Eclipse.”The moon will completely block the sun, momentarily engulfing parts of about a dozen states in sudden darkness, on Aug. 21, 2017, experts say. No one outside the continental U.S. will be able to see the eclipse, which makes landfall on the West Coast near Salem, Ore. and continues diagonally across the country until it hits Columbia, S.C.In addition to being the first total solar eclipse with a trajectory exclusive to the U.S. since the birth of America in 1776, it’s also the first total eclipse of the sun that will be visible from the contiguous U.S. since 1979.

BranchDavidian Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 wrong Fuckohttps://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/illinois/ Settle down fellas. Seems that both of you are correct.Nowhere in that link will you find the word "epicenter" - but, a quote from The Free Dictionary will clear up the confusion. ep·i·cen·ter (ĕp′ĭ-sĕn′tər)n.1. The point on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake.2. The focal point of a usually harmful or unpleasant phenomenon or event; the center: stood at the epicenter of the international crisis.ep′i·cen′tral adj.Usage Note: Epicenter is properly a geological term identifying the point of the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake. No doubt this is why the Usage Panel approves of figurative extensions of its use in dangerous, destructive, or negative contexts. In our 2008 survey, 74 percent accepted the sentence identifying a country as the epicenter for terrorist financing. The Panel is less fond but still accepting of epicenter when it is used to refer to the focal point of neutral or positive events. Fifty percent approved of the word in a sentence identifying New York City as the epicenter of European immigration. These percentages are both down a little from those in our 1996 survey, but not significantly. Now, can we all just get along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Another coming in seven years (April 2024): The path of this eclipse will cross the path of the prior total [[solar eclipse of August 21, 2017]], with the intersection of the two paths being in [[southern Illinois|southern]] [[illinois]], in [[Makanda, Illinois|Makanda]], just south of [[Carbondale, Illinois|Carbondale]]. A small land area, including the cities of Carbondale, [[Cape Girardeau, Missouri]], and [[Paducah, Kentucky]], will thus experience two total solar eclipses within a span of seven years.
