Ready for the “Great American Eclipse?” We’re now less than six months
out from the long-anticipated total solar eclipse spanning the contiguous
United States from coast-to-coast. And while folks are scrambling to make
last minute plans to stand in the path of totality on Monday, August 21st,
2017, a unique project named the Eclipse Megamovie 2017 seeks seeks to
document the view across the entire path.

And us? We’ll be casting our hubris at the Universe and catch the eclipse
from Columbia, South Carolina. We’re heeding the advice of veteran eclipse
chasers, and simply enjoying our first eclipse, and imaging our second,
though we may sneak in a few shots for the Eclipse Megamovie project.
Universe Today publisher Fraser Cain and astronomer and AstronomyCast
host Pamela Gay will lead a group watching from southern Illinois, and
we’ve also heard from many other observers from around the world who’ll
be visiting the U.S. the August… where will you be?
