On Monday, August 21st, people from across the country will have their eyes to the skies as a total solar eclipse will be visible within a band across the continental United States for the first time since 1918. The eclipse, dubbed the Great American Eclipse, will begin on the Oregon coast just after noon EDT and continue across the country until it reaches the South Carolina coast at about 4:06 pm EDT.
