Question

I live in West Michigan. Where can i go to see it? What will it look like?

Answer 1

No. This is clear from published maps.

I'm afraid it won't be visible at all from Michigan. The only place in the U.S. which will see a partial elipse will be northeast Maine.

Answer 8

every body in the usa will be able to see it.

Answer 9

Sorry, but no.  the only place in the Continental U.S. that will be able to see even a partial eclipse is the northern edge of Maine.  You are too far west.

Answer 10

I think I read a few days ago that it will only be seen in Asia, Europe and the Northeastern United States and Greenland.

I live in Ohio so we probably won't see it as well if what I read is accurate.
