A Celestial SpectacleMillions across the U.S. will

have their eyes on the sky thismonth: The first coast-to-coastsolar eclipse in nearly a centurywill take place on Aug. 21.

A total solar eclipse occurswhen the moon moves betweenthe sun and the Earth, coveringthe sun and casting a shadowon Earth.

This month’s eclipse is uniquebecause its path will cross theU.S. diagonally from Oregon toSouth Carolina, passing throughparts of 14 states.

All areas of the continentalU.S. will experience at least apartial eclipse, but people in the70-mile-wide “path of totality”will see a total eclipse, when onlythe sun’s outer atmosphere, thecorona, will be visible. In themiddle of the day, twilight will fallfor up to 2 minutes, 40 seconds;stars and planets will be visible;and the temperature will drop,just like at nighttime.

The view is sure to bebreathtaking, but experts cautionthat looking directly at the suncan cause permanent eyedamage. Special eclipse glassesor solar viewers are essential.

The next total solar eclipse inthe U.S. will occur in 2024.

Just PeachyThere is time to enjoy this fruit. It’s

said that peaches have fuzz toprotect the skin & thwart insects. Butit also can be a turnoff for somefolks, so that’s why peaches sold atmost stores are defuzzed by brushmachines or sprays of high-pressurewater after harvesting.
