Neil deGrasse Tyson Breaks Down The Great American Eclipse (LISTEN)

Millions of Americans are getting ready to view the Great American EclipseThe spectacular event will begin on Monday at 10:15 a.m. local time, just south of Portland, Oregon. The eclipse will sweep eastward along a 70-mile-wide path across Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska and the northeast corner of Kansas.  

It will then darken skies over Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee before passing over Georgia and the Carolinas on its way toward the Atlantic Ocean.  The total eclipse will be visible for less than three minutes at each viewing location.  

Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and broadcast meteorologist Joe Rao are here with everything you need to know about the August 21st total solar eclipse, called “the Great American Eclipse.” The three talk about what you can expect during the rare event. The U.S. hasn't had a total eclipse since 1979 and the next one won't happen for another seven years, in April 2024.
