Is there anyway we can see the solor eclispe August 1?

Question

Can you only see it in Russia, Canda, etc?

So if i live in Southern California, I won't be able to see it?

Answer 1

California will not be able to see the solar eclipse.  The Sun will not be up.

There's a good eclipse in 2017.

Answer 2

No, I checked the tables because I live in Nevada. It won't be visible in the western U S. In fact the only place in North America that you can see it is the northeastern US and a small part of Canada.

Answer 3

Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings. Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for "black budget" aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated -- with varying levels of credibility -- with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on a Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51. Since then, "Area 51" has become a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up. [GC 8/96]
