Unless you’re living under a rock, you have heard about the upcoming solar eclipse which will take place on Monday, August 21. There’s lots of hype about how to properly view the eclipse (*hint: you need special glasses), and how to determine how much of the eclipse you will be able to see based on your location. There is more the story, however, that you may not have heard, yet.
What will happen during a total eclipse (and we’re not talking of the heart)? For starters, the sky will go dark for a few minutes during normal daytime hours,
causing stars to appear, and the temperature will drop. It will be pretty amazing, even for those of us who won’t experience the total eclipse.
