I have heard that we will have an 86 percent sun blockage on August 21. That is pretty good. To experience the total eclipse I would have to be in South Carolina. It will be fun. I don't plan to look at it though! I was reading a story in the newspaper about a guy who chases eclipses and has seen several in his life. Will you experience the eclipse in your area? Is it total or partial?

@snowy22315 I remember the moment we had total darkness. The birds stopped chirping, the cicadas went silent, it was like life has stopped to wait the sun to come back.

I am not sure but according to what I looked up yes we should see it about noon here.
Which upcoming lunar and solar eclipses are visible in Denver, Colorado, USA and what do they look like?

Oh well that will be pretty interesting then! Remember not to look at it, unless you have the proper eyewear.

@snowy22315 Yes I remember Mother telling me not to look at it when there was one in Missouri when I was a child.

We will go to South Carolina to view it @snowy22315
Got the feeling that is going to be one crowded state!
