'The only total solar eclipse of the year arrives this week. On Monday, December 14, lucky skywatchers will have the chance to spot the spectacular celestial event, when the new moon fully blocks the sun, creating temporary darkness during what NASA calls "one of nature's most awe-inspiring sights."

When the moon covers the sun completely, the sun's atmosphere — known as its corona — can be seen. This year, it coincides with the impressive Geminids meteor shower.'>>>

1. Not visible in the Northern Hemisphere.

But it will be live-streamed from South America.

Not as good.

4. I saw the last one that blew thru So Carolina.. It was utterly spooky when the corona occurred

It got real cool also.. bucket list item... There was a gent there that built his own telescope. Metal glass and wood. A beautiful piece of furniture.. Rodney Scotts BBQ in Charleston was a treat also. delish. Charleston is a very photogenic town.. I wish I had a good camera...drat.
