Where to See the American Eclipse
			
		
		
		
			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.
