Answer 1

So it seems we are all asking the same question! Sadly, there is one answer. NO :(

You will only be able to see the eclipse if you live in northern Maine or on the eastern coast, and it will only be visible for about 1 minute for those folks! It stinks, but it's true. Hopefully next time it can be seen from everywhere in the USA!

Keep your fingers crossed!

Answer 2

Answer 3

You will probably be able to see the partial eclipse.  It is suposed to start at 9:18 PM GMT and is supposed to be visible from the Eastern US.

Answer 4

Hey, I'm from Georgia! I'm in Rincon, Georgia. It's outside of Savannah, that dirty old city..

Answer 5

1 Aug 2008 - Total Solar Eclipse

(Saros 126, umbral mag. 1.039, max. eclipse 10:21 UT

total: 09:21:07 UT to 11:21:28 UT)

The track -- 237 km wide at maximum -- begins in north Canada, passes near the North Pole, and into northern Russia. It then runs south-east into China. It is visible as a partial eclipse in Britain, though will not be dramatic.

The maximum duration is 2 minutes 27 seconds, and the path width at maximum is 237 kilometers.

Answer 6

Not even close to Georgia.  It will be visible in northern Canada pretty much around the Arctic circle, Greenland and northern Europe.
