On August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse will cross the entire continental United States. The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979, and it will not happen again until 2024. While the path of totality will cut across the middle of the country, the entire United States will experience some portion of a solar eclipse.
