On August 21, 2017 Earth will experience a total eclipse of the sun. It will be visible from within a narrow corridor across the United States. Although the moon’s penumbral shadow (a partial eclipse) will be able to be seen by most Americans, only its umbral shadow will be seen in certain states (crossing west to east: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina).

The last time a total solar eclipse was visible from any of the North American states was February 26, 1979.
