Today (May 13th, 2017) marks 100 days until the solar eclipse event of 2017 that will occur on Monday, August 21st. While solar eclipses happen often, this will be the first time in 26 years that a total solar eclipse will occur over the United States. This particular eclipse will cut right across the US including a large portion of Western North Carolina and much of South Carolina creating unprecedented viewing opportunities. Where are the best viewing spots? There are going to be many as the path of totality, the eclipse shadow, passes generously over a wide area of the Carolina’s just after 2pm.
