Everything You Need to Know About the Solar Eclipse

Unless you’ve been under a rock shielded

from the sun, you’ve probably heard mention of a solar eclipse planned for Monday, 21 August 2017. Well, not that it’s planned, it’s kind of just going to happen. The moon is going to fully cover the sun providing a black out effect for all of about 2 minutes.
Seeing as though this is the first total solar eclipse in 38 years, it’s kind of a big deal. Come Monday you’ll probably find people stepping away from their desks for 20 minutes during work while others will pull over on the highway to get a glimpse of the spectacle. You’ll also notice that it’s going to get a little dark at the exact moment of the eclipse.
Now, all of these clues might suggest an Independence Day scenario but don’t be alarmed. It won’t end in Randy Quaid giving his life so that the rest of us might live. That is until 20 years later when the aliens come back for more in an underwhelming sequel.
