![]() ![]() ![]() David has viewed five total solar eclipses over the past two decades. If I had to pick the person who best symbolizes how much excitement the upcoming eclipse is generating, it would be David Baron. Merchants are selling at a fast pace eclipse viewing glasses, t-shirts, coffee mugs, maps and even wines with names like “Totality” and “Umbra.” Accommodations at hotels in the areas of totality are at a premium and any remaining rooms will soon disappear. The path of totality includes a sliver of the mountains of northeast Georgia.Īnticipation of the eclipse is building steadily. But while most of the world will see only a partial eclipse, people living in a narrow band crossing 14 states will be treated to that rarest of celestial phenomena: a total eclipse of the sun. The solar eclipse that will happen on August 21 will be visible to all of North America as well as parts of South America, Africa and Europe. This week on “Two Way Street” we look at what’s being called the Great American Eclipse of 2017, with science writer David Baron. ![]() ![]() Corona of Jsolar eclipse observed from the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado. ![]()
