Close to 200 million people live within a day's drive of "the totality zone," and many are projecting that this will be the most-viewed eclipse ever. In fact, many hotels and campsites along the path of the eclipse are already completely booked. So if you want to see it live, you better make your arrangements quickly.
 
Of course the "main event" will not last for very long. Depending on the location, the total eclipse will only last for about two or three minutes.
 
But if you count from the time that the moon will begin to cover the sun until the time when the sun is completely uncovered again, it will take approximately two and a half hours for the entire process to unfold. The following comes from Newsweek:
 
If you are in the band of totality, you will see (if you look through special "solar filters" that darken the sun by a factor of about 100,000) the moon gradually covering the sun for about 75 minutes, then the beautiful totality, and then the uncovering for another 75 minutes.
 
Of course in the heavens, things will be taking place at very high speed. For example, the moon's shadow will actually be crossing the U.S. at a speed of close to 1,700 miles per hour.

And even if you are not in the "totality zone," you will still notice what is happening on August 21. That is because this eclipse will actually cast a "shadow" over the entire nation.
 
Could it be possible that has some sort of significance?
 
I don't know, but without a doubt, there will be a whole lot of speculation going on as we get closer to the date.
 
Many have pointed out that this solar total eclipse in 2017 will be followed by another total solar eclipse nearly seven years later on April 8, 2024. (Map adapted by NationalEclipse.com)
 
And when you plot the projected courses of these two solar eclipses on a map, they form a giant "X" over the center of the United States...
 
Could this be some sort of extremely bizarre coincidence?
 
And if it isn't a coincidence, what could it mean?...
