2017 Solar Eclipse

Scientists believe that monitor activity such as earthquakes and smaller eruptions would precede a major eruption, but the later has happened before with little to no warning for people near by.

But, scientists say the chances of this are remote for the foreseeable future.

With all the excitement that the eclipse has created, hotels along the 'zero line' are all but completely booked and finding a place to stay during the solar event has become extremely difficult.

Many Casper residents might not look forward to all the humanity in town for the Great Eclipse Festival, but to some, that may not be the bother. It's the fear of an eclipse. So many people will be coming, but there may be a few natives going – because of Kosmikophobia (fear of cosmic phenomenon)...

This video from NASA shows the path of the eclipse as it passes over the country. It goes into details of when it will peak and over which parts of the U.S.
