Solar Eclipse 2017: When, Where, How To See It In Maryland Plus NASA Live Stream


A total solar eclipse will be seen across the U.S. for the first time in 99 years on Aug. 21. Here's where, when to see it in Maryland.

BALTIMORE, MD — For the first time in nearly a century, a total solar eclipse will be visible across North America, with great viewing spots right here in Maryland. The once-in-a-lifetime event will take place on Monday, Aug. 21, according to NASA. Maryland will have partial coverage, with about 80 percent of the sun covered during the event, the first total solar eclipse visible across the U.S. since 1918.

On the East Coast, the eclipse will start shortly after 1 p.m. and reach totality just before 3 p.m.

South Carolina and Nashville are in the path of the totality, if you want to make the trek. The total eclipse viewing corridor will stretch across 14 states, according to NASA. The first sighting in the U.S. on Aug. 21 will be in Lincoln Beach, Oregon, at 9:05 a.m. PDT (12:05 p.m. EST) and will last be seen in Charleston, South Carolina, at 4:05 p.m.
