2017 and the Great American Eclipse
Posted on January 28th, 2017 No commentsOn the morning of Monday August 21, 2017 a total solar eclipse will cross North America. Only those along the path of totality will experience the sun being totally blocked by the moon and the sky going black. All others from Canada through the US and Mexico, and on down to Central America will experience a partial eclipse. Here in Bozeman it will be approximately 95% coverage. If you plan to go south into Wyoming or Idaho, you could experience totality. If you plan on staying here in Bozeman, be sure you have proper equipment to observe the eclipse.
