 On Monday, August 21st, a solar eclipse will pass over all 50 United States. This eclipse is very exciting for the United States because the last time a total eclipse went across the continental U.S. was back in 1979. Most of the country will see what it's like to have the moon slide between the sun and the earth, casting a shadow on us down below. The eclipse will look different depending on where in the United States you view it from. If you're on the path of totality, you'll see the moon fully block the sun. For Californians, if they want to head up to Oregon or to Idaho, that's where the total eclipse will occur. Here in California, the eclipse will be anywhere from 60 percent coverage in the southern most parts of the state, up to 90 percent along the northern border. Peak viewing time will be between 10.15 and 10.25 a.m. Pacific, depending on where you are. Wherever you are, you never want to look directly at the sun without protection, like specially made approved eclipse glasses, not sunglasses. Because we're in the partial eclipse area here in California, it's very dangerous to look at the eclipse just with your eyes. So we highly recommend that people make sure that they get glasses that are officially approved. And if you go to NASA's website, they have a list of vendors so that you can make sure you're getting a good pair of glasses. Brooke makes a good point. Amazon issuing refunds for potentially phony solar eclipse glasses. A lot of people thought they had purchased approved glasses. Only to find out the glasses they bought didn't provide what's recommended by NASA. And we do know that approved glasses can be very hard to find. So if you can't find a pair, there are still ways to view the eclipse safely with a do-it-yourself project. You can learn how to do that on NASA's official website. Go to eclipse2017.nasa.gov.
