The Great American Eclipse, one of the most awaited celestial events in years, is likely to bring thousands of eclipse chasers from across the world to the United States. It is a total solar eclipse that will move from the Pacific to Atlantic Coasts, tracing a path across a number of states. The last total solar eclipse visible across the breadth of contiguous US occurred almost a century ago.
After having made its way through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina, the final state that the total shadow of the moon will be visible from is South Carolina.
The total eclipse of the sun makes its way from northwest to southeast South Carolina, exiting into the Atlantic Ocean. The eclipse enters the state at 2:36 pm EDT and leaves the state at 2:49 pm EDT.
A number of primary cities, towns, and communities lie in the path of total eclipse, these include:
