Solar Eclipse seen from Oregon

Solar Eclipse seen from Oregon

The last glimmer of the Sun is seen as the Moon makes its final move over the Sun during the total solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017 above Madras, Oregon. A total solar eclipse swept across a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.

  2. Here in the Philadelphia Pa. Suburban area of Delaware County, the view was really spectacular. Seeing such a sight like this was truly a unique life time event to see taking place in our solar system.
