On August 21st For a Brief Moment The U.S Will Go Dark

  • On August 21st, 2017 we will witness something rare. In fact, it's so rare the last time this occurred was on  June 8, 1918. This was the last date the sun went dark during the day.

    For a few short moments stars will be visible, street lights may turn on and animals will be confused by the change.

    “The hair on the back of your neck is going to stand up, and you are going to feel different things as the eclipse reaches totality. It's been described as peaceful, spiritual, exhilarating, shocking,” said Brian Carlstrom, deputy associate director of the National Park Service Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate.
    Here are some of the things you should know about the total solar eclipse happening August 21.
