On Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the continental United States for the first time since 1918. Astronomers are calling it the Great American Eclipse. Beginning at 10:15 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on the Oregon coast and heading east like an accelerated sunset-in-reverse, what’s known as the path of totality will cut a 60-mile-wide arc across Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, and Tennessee before crossing the South Carolina coast an hour and a half later.
