On August 21, 2017, in Valleyheart Glen, starting at 9:05 a.m., the Moon will block the path of the Sun’s rays to the Earth. It will be a partial eclipse, 50 percent, because Valleyheart Glen is 677 miles from the total eclipse which will first be seen in Salem, Oregon. The full eclipse transit will head south across the country through Kansas City, Missouri and ending in Charleston, South Carolina.

At 10:21 a.m. it will be at maximum eclipse for Southern California and block half the Sun.

It will be over in Los Angeles by 11:45 a.m.

Of course, you’re not going to view the Sun with the naked eye. Of course, you’re going to buy eclipse glasses well in advance.

NASA uploaded a video to YouTube to show you the eclipse’s path across the United States.
