Mark your calendars, folks from coast to coast, and be thinking about hotel reservations also! A total solar eclipse will be cutting a swath through the heart of the nation less than two years from now, on August 21, 2017. Everyone in the continental USA will see a partial solar eclipse; but as an article in Astronomy magazine put it: “Likening a partial eclipse to a total eclipse is like comparing almost dying to dying.” I was fortunate enough to be able to drive to a total eclipse while I was in college in 1970; that is still one of the highlights of my life, truly.
