People all across the country are getting ready for next week’s solar eclipse, seeking out the best spots to see it, buying their safe viewing glasses, and learning up on what exactly an eclipse is.
Andrew Fraknoi is a trusted resource for a lot of these questions -- He’s an Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at Foothill College. He took a few minutes to talk with me about what we can expect.
FRAKNOI: On August 21st we are going to have a total eclipse of the sun, visible from one country and one country only. And that's the United States.
