See it on NASA's siteMany people wonder about clear skies for a total solar eclipse. This was a concern for the August 2017 eclipse that crossed North America, and it is a concern for tomorrow's eclipse. The 2017 path of totality went from Oregon to South Carolina, while a partial eclipse was visible across most of the continent. This image shows the 2017 total solar eclipse over Wyoming.
