Explanation:
Are you planning to see the
American Eclipse on August 21?
A few hours after sunrise, a rare total eclipse of the Sun will be visible along
a
narrow path across the
USA.
Those only near
the
path will see a
partial eclipse.
Although some Americans live right in
path of totality,
surely many more will be able to get there after a
well-planned drive.
One problem with
eclipses, though, is
that
clouds sometimes
get in the way.
To increase your
clear-viewing odds, you might consult the
featured map and find a convenient
destination with a historically low chance (more blue) of thick clouds overhead
during totality.
Given the large fraction of Americans carrying camera-equipped smartphones, this
American Eclipse
may turn out to be the
most photographed
event
in the history
of the world.
