The United States will experience a total eclipse of the sun for the first time since 1979.
On August 21, 2017, millions of people across 12 states will witness the total solar eclipse. The remaining 38 states in the U.S. will be able to view a partial eclipse.
This map from NASA shows the path of the total eclipse, beginning near Portland, Oregon, and traveling across the continent, ending over South Carolina.
From southern Ohio you will probably be able to see a partial solar eclipse, but if you want to get the full view of this once-in-a-lifetime event, your closest bet is to head just north of Nashville, Tennessee.
The last time there was a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in the U.S. was 1918.
