The biggest solar eclipse ever is coming to the northwest and you don't want to miss it.

 

A total solar eclipse will be visible from coast to coast on August 21, 2017.  NASA says this is the first total eclipse visible only in the U.S. since before America was founded.  We're talking the 1700's.

 

A solar eclipse is when the shadow of the moon shifts over the Earth, blocking out the sun.  A lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow covers the moon and that is not as rare.

 

If you miss this, it won't happen again until 2024 and you will not be able to see it from the Northwest, so this is truly a once in a lifetime experience.  Mark it on your calendar!
