@Regrann from @abc7la – @nasa app for that! The free app simulates what the sun will look like on the approximately 70-mile-wide path of totality, where the moon will completely obscure the sun. The celestial event won’t last long, with its duration changing as it stretches from the Oregon coast to South Carolina – making the total eclipse exclusive to the continental United States. The app also shows what sky-watchers can expect in SoCal: a partial solar eclipse that blots out about 60% of the sun. NASA officials remind eclipse enthusiasts to avoid permanent eye damage by never looking at the sun without appropriate eye protection. Download the app at eclipse2017.nasa.gov/apps. Photo: NASA.
