On the 21st of August 2017, the U.S.A. will be treated to a spectacular total solar eclipse which will cross the width of the US mainland from Oregon to South Carolina from 17:15:58–18:49:12 UT. This rare and spectacular event will be seen from a path of totality over 100 km (62.1 miles) wide, and will give watchers close to the centreline an amazing 2 minutes or more of total eclipse. A partial eclipse will be visible from the whole of North America and Hawaii, as well as northern South America.
