Eclipse to Cover Coast-to-Coast in August

The countdown has begun for an astrological event which doesn’t happen very often, a total solar eclipse casting about two-and-a-half minutes of darkness over a select path from coast to coast later this year.

Ray Miller, in the Weather-Eye Center, says the total solar eclipse will happen on August 21^st taking a direct path over the Show-Me State. The northern part of the Lake Area is expected to experience most of it. The most recent total solar eclipse stretching from coast-to-coast happened back in June of 1918.
