A total eclipse is nature at its most incredible. It lasts less than three minutes and along its path, twilight suddenly descends where there was sunlight just moments before. The temperature drops as the sun disappears behind the moon. Even animals are quiet in response to the unusual atmospheric change.
On August 21, anyone along this strip of land across America (the line of totality) will experience the phenomenon firsthand; furthermore, all 50 states in the U.S. will be able to see at least a partial eclipse.
Whether you’re seeing the total eclipse or a partial eclipse, national parks are an excellent stage to take in the glory of this natural phenomenon. Our suggestion? Order appropriate eye protection, then start planning to attend one of the eclipse events happening across the country.
