This year on Aug. 21 a Total eclipse of the sun will be visible from the U. S. This is rare event. The path will start in northern Oregon and travel southeast thru Colorado, Missouri to South Carolina.

Duration is less than 3 minutes for this one — some go to just over 4 minutes.

Between 2015 and 2019 there have been a total of only four total eclipses in those five years. And usually they are in far away places, The 2015 total eclipse was only visible from part of the North Sea and the Arctic.

2015 1 Arctic Ocean
2016 1 Sumatra, S. Borneo, Pacific Ocean
2017 1 N. America (Oregon, S. Idaho, Colorado
2018 0
2019 1 S. Pacific, Chile, Argentina

This one is the first one visible in U. S. in almost 40 years.

I was wondering if anyone from our little community was going?

Froggy where are you going to see the eclipse? If circumstances allow I am going to make it too. Maybe we can meet? Talk Dutchman in the dark of the day!

If all works out, I'll be going to Jackson, WY to catch the event. A total eclipse in the Grand Tetons, how can you go wrong?
