On Monday- August,21,2017 there will be a once in a lifetime occurrence. A total solar eclipse. What a way to start a week,huh? It will show west to east across the sky different times in the different zones. Ours will be best viewed here in Weiser, Payette and Stanley in late morning. The sky will go dark for a few minutes confusing the birds and it is said even stars will appear.
This only happens every ninety nine years. Scientists say that the eclipse will show the moon as more of a polygon(like a stop sign) shape rather than round.
Here in Boise they are saying that they predict about 50,000 people will come through here during this time.

Yea, you need to use special glasses. NASA says people need to be careful of that. Should be interesting. Hope you get to see it.
