Solar Eclipse Aug. 1?

Question

I heard that there will be an amazing Solar eclipse on August 1st 2008. I live in NC, so will I be able to see it? If so, what time?

Answer 1

all solar eclipses are amazing. 2006 was my first and there are no words to describe it. you really needed to be there.

try actually reading the ******* article. it will tell you where the eclipse will occur.

Answer 2

It appears that the Sun won't be up in NC, even to see a partial eclipse.  You could drive the North Eastern Canada to see the total.

If you go to see the partial, you need either a solar scope (a scope or binoculars with a solar filter), or eyepiece projection.  With the partial, quite a bit of the Sun is exposed, and direct viewing will hurt your eyes, perhaps permanently.

There's going to be a great solar eclipse in 2017.

Answer 3
