Something extraordinary will happen. For starters, it’ll be the first total solar eclipse to be visible from the contiguous US in roughly 40 years. It’ll also be the first total solar eclipse of the smartphone era. This year’s eclipse is also the first to be viewable only in the US, prompting some to dub it “The Great American Eclipse”. New York may not be in its totality path, but there’s always 2024;) #Eclipse2017
