The Coming Eclipse in your ZipCode

2049, 25 Jul 2017

For those who are not keeping up with such things, there will be a total solar eclipse on 21 AUG 2017, visible in whole or in ppart across much of the CONUS

For those in Indianapolis the sun will be 91% obscured; In D.C. 81%; in Ft Jackson and Ft McPherson, 100%;  down here in Dallas, only 76.2% and sunny Albuquerque will only suffer a 73.1% solar deficit.

Here is a link to a nice animation of what the eclipse will look like from your zip code - just plug in your zip code:
