There is a solar eclipse on August 21st. Here in TV it will be a partial eclipse. If you want to see a very nice representation of what it will look like there is a new website (https://eclipsemega.movie/simulator/32162?lat=28.92163128242129&lng=-81.990966796875). It shows the view in two ways.
For those who don't click on embedded links:
Eclipse Megamovie (https://eclipsemega.movie/simulator/32162?lat=28.92163128242129&lng=-81.990966796875)
Use the magnifying lens to the right of the location bar at the top which more often would be for search to toggle between the two presentations.
With the lens on plus + you view the sun moving across a fixed sky, mostly disappearing then reappearing. You start the demonstration with the arrow on the left end of the white bar at the bottom.
When you change the lens to minus - you instead see the sun fixed and the shadow of the moon moves across it.
You can change location by clicking on the icon that looks like the French flag which I guess is a partially unfolded map and see a popup map where you can click on any location. The grey band which begins on the NW USA and ends near Charleston SC is the area of total eclipse.
