⏳ If you haven't made plans to see the eclipse on April 8th, NOW is the time. There’s just over 1 month to go! 🏙️ We’ve been talking to communities in the path of totality over the past year and have integrated their events, viewing sites, parks, and more into our beautifully designed eclipse map. There are so many small towns doing so many big things to make visitors welcome - from weekend music festivals to guided tours - you’re guaranteed to have an amazing trip to view the eclipse. 📷 For the photographers trying to get pictures of planets during totality, check out the light pollution map layer to make sure you find a spot away from the city lights. Yes, it gets dark enough to see planets, and yes, city lights will automatically turn on. 🪐 We’ve partnered with The Planetary Society to include great science-based education around the various eclipse phenomena. “This will be the first time preparing for an eclipse for a lot of people,” Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye said, “Working with The Eclipse Company, we’re able to give the public a tool to help make their eclipse experience extraordinary. Check it out.” ❤️ We hope our map can help you finalize your plans to see this rare, spectacular event.

Love this! My only critique is that this app cannot move the eclipse to be closer to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did you know that any given location on the planet only sees a total eclipse on average once every 400 years? North America is fortunate to host a total eclipse twice within the span of 7 years. The next one in the contiguous Americas after this one isn’t until 2044. The rarity is special but the experience of totality itself is life-changing for many people. Its splendor is incomparable to anything else. As David Baron says in his wonderful TED Talk—You owe it to yourself to experience a total solar eclipse—“It’s powerful, dissolves the ego, and makes us feel connected.” We hope everyone can find their spot for this wonderful event!
