WHAT IS A SOLAR ECLIPSE?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon casts a shadow on Earth, fully or partially blocking the sun’s light in some areas. Observers within the path of totality will be able to see the sun’s corona (weather permitting), like in the images above and left. Observers outside this path will see a partial eclipse.
Most of Earth is covered by water, so a total solar eclipse that occurs over populated areas is quite special. The August 2017 event will be the first one whose totality path lies completely within the United States since 1776, experts have said.
"A total solar eclipse, is widely regarded as probably one of the most breathtaking, amazing phenomena that you can observe from this planet Earth with your own eyes," "With unaided eyes, you can actually see the outer atmosphere of the sun." We won't see this again for another 70 years!
Totality will last for 1 minute 40 seconds in Corvallis and begins at 10:16:56am on Monday.
