A year from now, our great nation will be graced by the Great American Eclipse. It's a phenomenal event and everyone is waiting for it since the last time it took place was in 1979.
Not too long ago a solar eclipse took place only visible in parts of Australia and the South Pacific. Solar eclipses happen annually, but the one we had in May was dubbed the ring of fire. The ring of fire were only partially visible in Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and much of the Philippines, Indonesia and New Zealand.
Don't sweat it if you missed the annual solar eclipse. There is a much greater one coming in 2017. In fact, the total solar eclipse, otherwise known as the great american eclipse, is going to make a landfall next year and it will be giving us a chance to be graced by its majestic presence.
Sources say that the Great American Eclipse is not just big for umbraphiles (people who chase shadows of the moon), but this event is really big for people in Kentucky. They even set up a website while waiting for its return.
According to the Courier Journal, the last time it made a landfall called the "lower 48" was on February 26, 1979. And after 1 year, it's going to be back again. Although, this was not the first total solar eclipse that happened. Another one happened in 1918 where the solar eclipse crossed the United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast.
The Great American Eclipse is something that you shouldn't miss. It's going to be a late morning affair in the northwest, it will tower over everyone in western Nebraska by high noon and in the afternoon you can spot it making touch down in the east. This time, the Great American Eclipse will be making landfall in crosses over many major cities, including Columbia South Carolina, Nashville, St. Louis and Salem, Oregon.
