"What is It?
This celestial event is a solar eclipse in which the moon passes between the sun and Earth and blocks all or part of the sun for up to about three hours, from beginning to end, as viewed from a given location. For this eclipse, the longest period when the moon completely blocks the sun from any given location along the path will be about two minutes and 40 seconds. The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979." from: "Eclipse: Who? What? Where? When? and How?"

"People not in the path will experience a partial eclipse. For those who can't make it to the path, the Exploratorium, along with our NASA partners, will be filming the event from two different locations and sharing it with the world by live stream. You can watch it live on this website and on our free Android and iOS app?s, or come to the Exploratorium and join us for a special eclipse-day program."
"On the morning of August 21, when the eclipse begins and the Kronos Quartet begins to play, the unpredictability that Grim loves so much will be in full effect. There may be technical difficulties or cloudy weather preventing a clear view of the eclipse—but even if not, the sonification piece will be something entirely unique, created in the moment and shaped by the progression of the eclipse itself.
