US set for 'great' eclipse.
'North America is preparing for a once-in-a-century total solar eclipse which will plunge large
parts of the United States into darkness. Parts of 14 states will witness the solar spectacle,
which is being described as the Great American Eclipse...'
'Where is it and when?
Monday 21 August 2017. It starts at 9.05am local time on the Pacific coast (5.05pm UK) and
finishes at 4.09pm local time on the east coast (9.09pm UK).

The total eclipse will be visible from 14 states.
Its path completely crosses the continental United States - from Oregon in the west to South
Carolina in the east. A 70-mile-wide strip will experience total darkness in the middle of the day,
while a partial eclipse will be visible from much of North America and from parts of Europe
-including, briefly, the UK.
The area around Carbondale, Illinois, will experience the longest period of darkness -2 minutes
41.6 seconds. But the most perfect eclipse will be visible in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where the Sun,
Moon and Earth will be in greatest alignment.
States including Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska and Tennessee will all experience 'totality' -where the
moon fully covers the Sun...'
