Abstract
In all likelihood, the most important thing you’ll hear from someone speaking about the eclipse or that you’ll read in any book or on any website is that, on August 21, 2017, you must get to the path of totality. It’s true. As I like to say in my talks, the difference between viewing a partial eclipse and experiencing a total one is the difference between almost dying and dying. In other words, there’s no comparison.
