August 21 solar eclipse News
As LRO crossed the lunar south pole heading north at 3,579 mph (1,600 meters per second), the shadow of the Moon was racing across the United States at 1,500 mph (670 meters per second).
The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses”.
America geared up for this rare astronomical event as people were seen flocking to places and hoping for a clear sky.
The rare eclipse will be gracing the skies after 99 years and it's a once in a lifetime chance for people to view it.
Sometime in the year 2014, American space agency NASA had confirmed the occurrence of a total solar eclipse in 2017.
Sunspots are the primary generator of solar flares, the sudden, powerful blasts of electromagnetic radiation and charged particles that burst into space during explosions on the Sun's surface.
Looking at the eclipse directly will damage your vision and that holds true for a partial eclipse as well.
