Total Solar Eclipse 2017

Animations!
We've written a program that lets you see an
animation of the actual eclipse from any location you specify in the
U.S.
To use the program, download this zip file, and unzip to one directory. The ocx file should be in the same
directory as the exe, and you'll be good to go.
**PLEASE NOTE that for
cities that are split by the path, such as Nashville, St. Louis and Kansas City,
you will see the eclipse as viewed from the lat/lon we chose to show
totality!
The eclipse is NOT total for all locations within those
cities! You must check out the Interactive Google Earth map to find out if you will be
in the path!
Here is a Google
Earth animation of the eclipse shadow sweeping across the United
States.
You should have the latest version of Google earth installed to use
this.
Just download and unzip it - you will see
a KML file that can be directly opened in Google
Earth.

animation of the eclipse
that we've received from Larry
