"The Total Solar Eclipse will take place on August 21, 2017. On this day hundreds of US cities will plunge into near total darkness during mid-day when the moon's shadow traverses over 170,000 square miles of land! A total solar eclipse of this magnitude has not happened in the United States in 99 years! Don't miss it!"
