It was visible within a band that spanned the\ncontiguous United States\nfrom the\nPacific\nto the\nAtlantic\ncoasts. It was also visible as a\npartial solar eclipse\nfrom as far north as\nNunavut\nin\nnorthern Canada\nto as far south as northern\nSouth America\n. In northwestern\nEurope\nand Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening. In northeastern\nAsia\n, it was partially visible at sunrise.\nPrior to this event, no solar eclipse had been visible across the entirety of the United States\nsince June 8, 1918\n; not since the\nFebruary 1979 eclipse\nhad a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States.\n[\n2\n]\nThe path of totality touched 14 states, and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse.\n[\n2\n]\nThe area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States,\n[\n3\n]\nwith most of this area over the ocean, not land. The event's shadow began to cover land on the\nOregon\ncoast as a partial eclipse at 4:05 p.m.\nUTC\n(9:05 a.m.\nPDT\n), with the total eclipse beginning there at 5:16 p.m. UTC (10:16 a.m. PDT); the total eclipse's land coverage ended along the South Carolina coast at about 6:44 p.m. UTC (2:44 p.m.\nEDT\n).\n[\n2\n]\nVisibility as a partial eclipse in\nHonolulu, Hawaii\nbegan with sunrise at 4:20 p.m. UTC (6:20 a.m.\nHST\n) and ended by 5:25 p.m. UTC (7:25 a.m. HST).\n[\n4\n]\nThis total solar eclipse marked the first such event in the\nsmartphone\nand\nsocial media\nera in the United States. Information, personal communication, and photography were widely available as never before.\nThe event was received with much enthusiasm across the nation; people gathered outside their homes to watch it, and many parties were set up in the path of the eclipse. Many people left their homes and traveled hundreds of miles just to get a glimpse of totality.  Marriage proposals were timed to coincide with the eclipse, as was at least one wedding.\n[\n5\n]\n[\n6\n]\nLogistical problems arose with the influx of visitors, especially for smaller communities.\n[\n7\n]\nThe sale of counterfeit eclipse glasses was also anticipated to be a hazard for eye injuries.\n[\n8\n]\nThe next solar eclipse that crossed the United States occurred\non April 8, 2024\n(12 states). Future solar eclipses that will be visible from the United States will occur\non August 23, 2044\n(3 states), and\non August 12, 2045\n(10 states).\nAnnular solar eclipses\n—wherein the Moon appears smaller than the Sun—occurred\nin October 2023\n(9 states) and will occur\nin June 2048\n(9 states).\nAnimation of the eclipse shadow: The dot in the center represents the path of totality.\nThe total eclipse occurred at the Moon's\nascending node\nof orbit and had a\nmagnitude\nof 1.0306. Occurring about 3.2 days after\nperigee\n(on August 18, 2017, at 14:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger during this eclipse.\n[\n9\n]\nIt was visible within a narrow corridor 70 miles (110 km) wide, crossing 14 of the contiguous\nUnited States\n:\nOregon\n,\nIdaho\n,\nMontana\n,\nWyoming\n,\nNebraska\n,\nKansas\n,\nIowa\n,\nMissouri\n,\nIllinois\n,\nKentucky\n,\nTennessee\n,\nGeorgia\n,\nNorth Carolina\n, and\nSouth Carolina\n.\n[\n10\n]\n[\n11\n]\nIt was first seen from land in the U.S. shortly after 10:15 am\nPDT\n(17:15 UTC) at Oregon's Pacific coast, and then it progressed eastward through\nSalem, Oregon\n;\nIdaho Falls, Idaho\n;\nCasper, Wyoming\n;\nLincoln, Nebraska\n;\nKansas City, Missouri\n;\nSt. Louis, Missouri\n;\nHopkinsville, Kentucky\n; and\nNashville, Tennessee\n; before reaching\nColumbia, South Carolina\nabout 2:41 pm;\n[\n12\n]\nand finally\nCharleston, South Carolina\n. A partial eclipse was seen for a greater time period, beginning shortly after 9:00 am PDT along the Pacific Coast of Oregon.\nWeather forecasts\npredicted clear skies in Western U.S. and some Eastern states, but clouds in the Midwest and East Coast.\n[\n13\n]\nThe longest ground duration of totality was 2 minutes 41.6 seconds at about\n37°35′0″N\n89°7′0″W\n \/ \n37.58333°N 89.11667°W\nin\nGiant City State Park\n, just south of\nCarbondale, Illinois\n, and the greatest extent (width) was at\n36°58′0″N\n87°40′18″W\n \/ \n36.96667°N 87.67167°W\nnear the village of\nCerulean, Kentucky\n, located in between\nHopkinsville\nand\nPrinceton\n.\n[\n14\n]\nThis was the first total solar eclipse visible from the\nSoutheastern United States\nsince the\nsolar eclipse of March 7, 1970\n. Two\nNASA WB-57Fs\nflew above the clouds, prolonging the observation time spent in the\numbra\n.\n[\n15\n]\nA partial solar eclipse was seen from the much broader path of the\nMoon\n's\npenumbra\n, including all of\nNorth America\n, particularly areas just south of the totality pass, where the eclipse lasted about 3–5 hours,\nHawaii\n,\nCentral America\n, the\nCaribbean\n, northern\nSouth America\n,\nWestern Europe\n, and some of\nWest Africa\nand\nNortheast Asia\n.\nAt one location in Wyoming, a small group of astronomers used telescopic lenses to photograph the sun as it was in partial eclipse, while the\nInternational Space Station\nwas also seen to briefly\ntransit\nthe sun.\n[\n16\n]\nSimilar images were captured by\nNASA\nfrom a location in Washington. (See\nGallery\n– partial eclipse section).\nOther celestial bodies\n[\nedit\n]\nDuring the eclipse for a long span of its path of totality, several bright stars and four planets were visible. The star system\nRegulus\nwas almost in conjunction with the Sun.\nMars\nwas 8° to the right, and\nVenus\n34° right.\nMercury\nwas 10° left, and\nJupiter\n51° left.\n[\n17\n]\nOther eclipses over the United States\n[\nedit\n]\nThis was the first total solar eclipse visible from the United States since that of\nJuly 11, 1991\n[\n18\n]\n—which was seen only from part of\nHawaii\n[\n19\n]\n—and the first visible from the contiguous United States since 1979.\n[\n20\n]\nAn eclipse of comparable length (up to 3 minutes, 8 seconds, with the longest eclipse being 6 minutes and 54 seconds) occurred over the contiguous United States on\nMarch 7, 1970\nalong the southern portions of the\nEastern Seaboard\n, from Florida to Virginia.\n[\n21\n]\nThe path of totality of the\nsolar eclipse of February 26, 1979\ncrossed only the states of\nWashington\n,\nOregon\n,\nIdaho\n,\nMontana\n, and\nNorth Dakota\n. Many enthusiasts traveled to the\nPacific Northwest\nto view the eclipse, since it would be the last chance to view such an eclipse in the\ncontiguous United States\nfor almost four decades.\n[\n22\n]\n[\n23\n]\nThe path of totality across the\nUnited States\nThe August 2017 eclipse was the first with a path of totality crossing the\nPacific\nand\nAtlantic coasts\nof the U.S. since the\nsolar eclipse of 1918\n. Also, its path of totality made landfall exclusively within the United States, making it the first such eclipse since the country's\ndeclaration of independence in 1776\n. Prior to this, the path of totality of the eclipse of June 13, 1257, was the last to make landfall exclusively on lands currently part of the United States.\n[\n24\n]\nThe path of the\nsolar eclipse of April 8, 2024\ncrossed the path of the August 2017 eclipse, with the intersection occurring in\nsouthern\nIllinois\nin\nMakanda\nTownship at Cedar Lake, just south of\nCarbondale\n. An area of about 9,000 square miles (23,000 km\n2\n), including the cities of Makanda, Carbondale,\nCape Girardeau, Missouri\n, and\nPaducah, Kentucky\n, thus experienced two total solar eclipses within a span of less than seven years.\n[\n25\n]\n[\n26\n]\nThis occurrence is considered to be unusual, since the average interval for any given spot on Earth observing a total solar eclipse is about once every 375 years.\n[\n26\n]\n[\n27\n]\nThe\nsolar eclipse of August 12, 2045\n, will have a very similar path of totality over the U.S. to that of the 2017 eclipse: about 400 km (250 mi) to the southwest, also crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the country; however, totality will be more than twice as long, and it will be seen in other countries besides the United States. It will also be seen in the\nAmericas\n.\n[\n28\n]\nPlaces experiencing total eclipse\n[\nedit\n]\nSolar Eclipse of August 21, 2017\n(Local Times)\nU.S.\nstate\nCity or place\nStart of partial

Only those in\nIceland\n,\nIreland\n,\nScotland\nand the Portuguese\nAzores archipelago\nsaw the eclipse from beginning to end; in\nWales\n,\nEngland\n,\nNorway\n, the\nNetherlands\n,\nBelgium\n,\nFrance\n,\nSpain\n, and\nPortugal\n, sunset occurred before the end of the eclipse. In\nGermany\n, the beginning of the eclipse was visible just at sunset only in the extreme northwest of the country. In all regions east of the orange line on the map, the eclipse was not visible.\n[\n97\n]\nA partial eclipse was visible during sunrise or morning hours in\nRussian Far East\n(including\nSevernaya Zemlya\nand\nNew Siberian Islands\narchipelagos).\n[\n98\n]\n[\n99\n]\nFor big cities in\nRussia\n, the maximal obscuration was in\nAnadyr\n, and it was 27.82%.\n[\n100\n]\nIn some locations in\nWest Africa\nand western\nNorth Africa\n, a partial eclipse was seen just before and during sunset.\n[\n10\n]\nThe most favorable conditions to see this eclipse gained the Cape Verde Archipelago with nearly 0.9 magnitude at the\nPico del Fogo\nvolcano.\nNASA TV\n's live coverage was being watched by 4.4 million people at 1:40 EDT, accounting for 87% of all traffic to U.S. federal government websites.\nA large number of media outlets broadcast coverage of the eclipse, including television and internet outlets. NASA announced plans to offer streaming coverage through its\nNASA TV\nand\nNASA Edge\noutlets, using cameras stationed on the ground along the path of totality, along with cameras on\nhigh-altitude balloons\n, jets, and coverage from the\nInternational Space Station\n; NASA stated that \"never before will a celestial event be viewed by so many and explored from so many vantage points—from space, from the air, and from the ground.\"\n[\n101\n]\nABC\n,\nCBS\n, and\nNBC\nannounced that they would respectively broadcast live\ntelevision specials\nto cover the eclipse with correspondents stationed across the path of totality, along with\nCNN\n,\nFox News Channel\n,\nScience\n, and\nThe Weather Channel\n. The\nPBS\nseries\nNova\npresented streaming coverage on\nFacebook\nhosted by\nMiles O'Brien\n, and aired a special episode chronicling the event—\"Eclipse Over America\"—later in the day (which marked the fastest production turnaround time in\nNova\nhistory).\n[\n102\n]\n[\n103\n]\nOther institutions and services also announced plans to stream their perspectives of the eclipse, including the\nExploratorium\nin\nSan Francisco\n, the\nElephant Sanctuary\nof\nHohenwald, Tennessee\n, the\nSlooh\nrobotic telescope\napp\n, and\nThe Virtual Telescope Project\n. The Eclipse Ballooning Project, a consortium of schools and colleges that sent 50 high-altitude balloons into the sky during the eclipse to conduct experiments, provided streams of footage and GPS tracking of its launches.\n[\n101\n]\n[\n104\n]\nContact with one balloon with $13,000 of scientific equipment, launched under the aegis of the LGF Museum of Natural History near\nVale, Oregon\n, was lost at 20,000 feet (6,100 m). Given that the balloon was believed to have burst at 100,000 feet (30,000 m), it could have parachuted down anywhere from eastern Oregon to\nCaldwell, Idaho\n(most likely) to\nSun Valley, Idaho\n; a $1,000 reward is offered for its recovery.\n[\n105\n]\nThe\nNational Solar Observatory\norganized Citizen CATE volunteers to man 60 identical telescopes and instrumentation packages along the totality path to study changes in the corona over the duration of the eclipse.\nThe Moon's\numbra\n, as seen from the\nInternational Space Station\nIn\norbit\n, the\nInternational Space Station\nand the satellites\nLunar Reconnaissance Orbiter\n,\nSolar Dynamics Observatory\n,\nModerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer\n,\nSolar and Heliospheric Observatory\n, and\nHinode\ngathered data from the eclipse.\n[\n106\n]\nA viewing party was held at the White House, during which President\nDonald Trump\nappeared on the\nTruman Balcony\nwith First Lady\nMelania Trump\n. With the Sun partially eclipsed, President Trump looked briefly in the general direction of the Sun before using solar viewing glasses.\n[\n107\n]\nLate-night comedians\nTrevor Noah\nand\nConan O’Brien\njoked about Trump not wearing glasses,\n[\n108\n]\n[\n109\n]\nand\nThe Independent\ndescribed it as \"perhaps one of the most enduring images of Donald Trump's presidency\".\n[\n110\n]\nThe rapper\nJoey Badass\nboasted of watching the solar eclipse without viewing glasses, considering that \"our ancestors ain't have no fancy eyewear [and] they ain't all go blind\". Unlike the US president, he did not wear viewing glasses during the entire eclipse. Later, he complained of vision problems and had to cancel his Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the Everybody Tour, due to \"unforeseen circumstances\".\n[\n111\n]\nThe eclipse generated reports of abnormal behavior in animal and plant life. Some chickens came out from beneath their coops and began grooming, usually an evening activity. Horses displayed increased whinnying, running, and jumping after the event.\nCicadas\nwere reported to grow louder before going silent during totality. Various birds were also observed flying in unusually large formations. Flowers such as the\nHibiscus\nclosed their petals which typically happens at night, before opening again after the solar event.\n[\n112\n]\nPornhub\n, a pornographic video-sharing website provided an unusual sociological and statistical report: its traffic dropped precipitously along the path of totality, so much so that its researchers were themselves surprised.\n[\n113\n]\nNASA reported over 90 million page views of the eclipse on its websites, making it the agency's biggest online event ever, beating the previous web traffic record about seven times over.\n[\n114\n]\nCounterfeit eclipse glasses\n[\nedit\n]\nThree people wearing\neclipse glasses\nat the\nKansas City National Security Campus\nin\nKansas City, Missouri\nIn the months leading up to the eclipse, many\ncounterfeit\nglasses were put up for sale. Effective\neclipse glasses\nmust not only block most visible light, but most UV and infrared light as well. For visible light, the user should only be able to see the Sun, sunlight reflected off shiny metal, halogen bulbs, the filament in unfrosted incandescent bulbs, and similarly intense sources. Determining whether the glasses effectively block enough UV and infrared light requires the use of\nspectrophotometer\n, which is a rather expensive piece of lab equipment.\n[\n8\n]\n[\n115\n]\nThe eye's retina lacks\npain receptors\n, and thus damage can occur without one's awareness.\n[\n116\n]\n[\n117\n]\nThe\nAmerican Astronomical Society\n(AAS) said products meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard avoid risk to one's eyes and issued a list of reputable vendors of eclipse glasses. The organization warned against products claiming ISO certification or even citing the same number, but not tested by an accredited laboratory. Another problem was counterfeits of reputable vendors' products, some even claiming the company's name such as with American Paper Optics which published information detailing the differences between its glasses and counterfeits.\n[\n118\n]\n[\n116\n]\nAndrew Lund, the owner of a company which produces eclipse glasses, noted that not all counterfeit glasses were necessarily unsafe. He stated to\nQuartz\nthat the counterfeits he tested blocked the majority of harmful light spectrum, concluding that \"the IP is getting ripped off, but the good news is there are no long-term harmful effects.\"\n[\n115\n]\nAs one example, the Springdale Library in metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, accidentally passed out dozens of pairs of counterfeit eclipse glasses, but as of August 23 had not received any reports of eye damage.\n[\n119\n]\nOn July 27, 2017, Amazon required all eclipse viewing products sold on its website have a submission of origin and safety information, and proof of an accredited ISO certification. In mid-August 2017, Amazon recalled and pulled listings for eclipse viewing glasses that \"may not comply with industry standards\" and gave refunds to customers who had purchased them.\n[\n120\n]\n[\n8\n]\nCamera equipment damage\n[\nedit\n]\nLensrentals, a camera rental company based in\nTennessee\n, reported that many of its customers returned cameras and lenses with extensive damage. The most common problem reported was damage to the camera's sensor. This most often happens when shooting in\nlive view\nmode, where the sensor is continuously exposed to the eclipse image and becomes damaged by the Sun's light. Another problem was the heat and brightness of the eclipse destroying the lens iris, which mechanically regulates the amount of light that enters the camera. Another problem reported was one of a cinema camera's\nneutral-density filter\nbeing damaged by the heat and light of the eclipse. The cost of all of this damage likely amounted to thousands of dollars.\n[\n121\n]\nA\nvariable-message sign\non\nU.S. Route 64 in North Carolina\n, alerting drivers of the eclipse\nOfficials inside and near the path of totality planned – sometimes for years – for the sudden influx of people.\n[\n122\n]\nSmaller towns struggled to arrange viewing sites and logistics for what could have been a tourism boom or a disaster.\n[\n123\n]\nIn the\nAmerican West\n, illegal camping was a major concern, including near cities like\nJackson Hole, Wyoming\n.\n[\n7\n]\nIdaho's Office of Emergency Management said Idaho was a prime viewing state, and advised jurisdictions to prepare for service load increases; nearly every hotel and motel room, campground, and in some cases backyards for nearly 100 miles (160 km) north and south of the path of totality had been reserved several months, if not years, in advance.\n[\n124\n]\nThe state anticipated up to 500,000 visitors to join its 1.6 million residents.\n[\n125\n]\nOregon deployed six\nNational Guard\naircraft and 150 soldiers because the influx of visitors coincided with the state's fire season.\n[\n126\n]\nHospital staffing, and supplies of blood and anti–snake bite antidote, were augmented along the totality line.\n[\n127\n]\nAlso in Oregon, there were reports of hoteliers canceling existing reservations made at the regular market rate and increasing their rate, sometimes threefold or more, for guests staying to view the eclipse.\n[\n128\n]\nThe\nOregon Department of Justice\n(DOJ) investigated various complaints and reached settlements with affected customers of at least 10 hotels in the state.\n[\n129\n]\nThese settlements included refunds to the customers and fines paid to the DOJ.\n[\n130\n]\nPost-eclipse traffic problems\n[\nedit\n]\nAlthough traffic to areas within the path of totality was somewhat spread out over the days prior to the eclipse,\n[\n131\n]\nthere were widespread traffic problems across the United States after the event ended. Michael Zeiler, an eclipse cartographer, had estimated that between 1.85 million and 7.4 million people would travel to the path of the eclipse.\n[\n132\n]\nFollowing the eclipse, it was estimated that 5 million people had travelled to the areas inside the path of totality to see the eclipse, which led to large-scale traffic jams after the end of totality. US officials anticipated a potentially even bigger travel turnout for the\nApril 2024 solar eclipse\n7 years later;\n[\n133\n]\nultimately, over 20 million people travelled to witness totality for the latter eclipse.\n[\n134\n]\nIn Oregon, because an estimated one million people were expected to arrive, the Oregon National Guard was called in to help manage traffic in\nMadras\nalong\nUS 26\nand\nUS 97\n.\n[\n135\n]\nMadras Municipal Airport\nreceived more than 400 mostly personal planes that queued for hours while waiting to leave after the eclipse.\n[\n136\n]\nOfficials in Idaho, where the totality path crossed the center of the state, began planning for the eclipse a year in advance. The\nstate Transportation Department\nsuspended construction projects along\nInterstate 15\n, which traverses\nEastern Idaho\n, from August 18–22 in order to have all lanes open;\n[\n137\n]\ntheir counterparts in neighboring Utah\n, where many were expected to travel the 220 miles (350 km) north via the highway from the\nSalt Lake City metropolitan area\n, did the same. On the morning of the eclipse, many drivers left before dawn, creating traffic volume along\nI-15\nnormally not seen until morning\nrush hour\n; northbound traffic on the interstate in\nBox Elder County\nnorth of\nSalt Lake City\nslowed to 10–15 miles per hour (16–24 km\/h).\n[\n138\n]\nThe\nIdaho State Police\n(ISP) stationed a patrol car along I-15 every 15 miles (24 km) between\nShelley\nand the Utah border.\n[\n139\n]\nTraffic backed up on I-15\/\nUS 26\nsouth of Idaho Falls\nAfter the eclipse, traffic more than doubled along I-15 southbound, with extensive\ntraffic jams\ncontinuing for eight hours as viewers who had traveled north into the totality path from Utah returned there and to points south. The ISP tweeted a picture of bumper-to-bumper traffic stalled on the interstate just south of\nIdaho Falls\n. Motorists reported to local news outlets that it was taking them two hours to travel the 47 miles (76 km) from that city to\nPocatello\nto the south, a journey that normally takes 45 minutes.\n[\n138\n]\nOthers reported that it took three hours to travel from Idaho Falls to the closer city of\nBlackfoot\n, 30 miles (48 km) farther north of Pocatello.\n[\n140\n]\nIn the rest of the state the impact was less severe. Traffic nearly doubled on\nUS 93\n, and was up 55 percent on\nUS 20\n.\n[\n141\n]\nFor some northbound travelers on\nI-15\n, the\nMontana Department of Transportation\nhad failed to make similar plans to those in Idaho, scheduling a road construction project to begin on August 21 that narrowed a section of the highway to a single northbound lane, near the exit to\nClark Canyon Dam\nsouth of\nDillon\n. Though that stretch of highway generally has a traffic count of less than 1,000 vehicles per day, on the day of the eclipse there were over a thousand vehicles per hour at peak times. As a result, traffic backed up as far as\nLima\n, creating a delay of at least an hour for travelers heading northward. Further, as construction had not yet begun, drivers observed cones set up but no workers present on the road. While the state traditionally halts construction projects during high traffic periods, a state official admitted \"we ... probably made a bad mistake here in this regard.\"\n[\n131\n]\nTraffic waiting to get on\nInterstate 25\nat\nGlendo, Wyoming\n, after the eclipse\nIn Wyoming, estimates were that the population of the state, officially 585,000, may have doubled or even tripled, with traffic counts on August 21 showing 536,000 more cars than the five-year average for the third Monday in August; a 68 percent increase. One official offered an estimate of \"two people in every car\" to arrive at a one-million-visitor figure, and others noted that one million was a conservative estimate based on a one-day traffic count of limited portions of major highways.  There were additional arrivals by aircraft, plus travelers who arrived early or stayed for additional days.\n[\n142\n]\nTwo days before the eclipse, traffic increased 18 percent over a five-year average, with an additional 131,000 vehicles on the road.\n[\n143\n]\nSunday saw an additional 217,000-vehicle increase.\n[\n142\n]\nFollowing the eclipse, more than 500,000 vehicles traveled Wyoming roads, creating large traffic jams, particularly on southbound and eastbound highways.\n[\n144\n]\nDrivers reported that it took up to 10 hours to travel 160 miles (260 km) into northern Colorado.\n[\n142\n]\nThere was one traffic fatality,\n[\n145\n]\nand another fatality related to an off-highway\nATV\naccident, but in general there were far fewer incidents and traffic citations than authorities had anticipated.\n[\n146\n]\nTraffic at a ramp to\nInterstate 75\nnear\nSweetwater, Tennessee\nIn\nTennessee\n, the\nKnoxville News Sentinel\ndescribed the traffic problems created by the eclipse as the worst ever seen in\nthat part of the state\n. One backup along\nInterstate 75\nreached 34 miles (55 km) in length, between\nNiota\nand the\nInterstate 40\ninterchange at\nFarragut\n. A spokesman for the\nstate's Department of Transportation\nallowed that the traffic jams were the worst he had seen in six and a half years on the job, noting that accidents had aggravated the already heavy traffic flows, attributed the I-75 congestion to\nKnoxville\n-area residents heading for the totality path at\nSweetwater\nand returning during what was the city's normal afternoon rush hour.\n[\n147\n]\nBefore the eclipse, state officials had described their traffic expectations as equivalent to that generated by the\nBonnaroo Music Festival\n, the twice-a-season\nNASCAR\nCup Series\nraces at\nBristol\nor the formerly-held\nBoomsday\nfireworks festival. \"Maybe they should have considered a tsunami of traffic combining all three of those heavily attended events\", the\nNews Sentinel\ncommented. The\nTennessee Highway Patrol\nmade sure that \"[e]very trooper not on sick leave or military leave or pre-approved leave [wa]s working\" the day of the eclipse; the state DOT made sure its full complement of emergency-aid HELP trucks were available as well. Alert signs on the highways also warned motorists not to pull over onto the shoulders to watch the eclipse as it could increase the risk of dangerous accidents and block the path of emergency vehicles.\n[\n147\n]\nIn North Carolina, the\nDepartment of Transportation\nadded cameras, message boards and safety patrols in the counties where the total eclipse would take place, as well as stopping road work. The department warned that due to \"unprecedented\" traffic ordinary activities requiring driving might prove difficult, and advised people to act as if there were snow.\n[\n148\n]\nIn Kentucky, particularly around the Hopkinsville area, which was dubbed \"Eclipseville, USA\",\n[\n149\n]\npost-eclipse traffic caused extensive delays. The en masse departure of tourists via\nInterstate 69\nas well as the\nWestern Kentucky Parkway\nresulted in commute times double or even triple of normal.\n[\n150\n]\n[\n151\n]\nThe Hopkinsville-to-Lexington commute under normal circumstances lasts three and a half hours.\nImpact on solar power\n[\nedit\n]\nAn eclipse causes a reduction of\nsolar power\ngeneration where the Moon shadow covers any solar panel, as do clouds.\nThe\nNorth American Electric Reliability Corporation\npredicted minor impacts,\n[\n152\n]\nand attempted to measure the impact of the 2017 eclipse.\n[\n153\n]\nIn California, solar power was projected to decrease by 4–6,000 megawatts\n[\n154\n]\nat 70 MW\/minute, and then\nramp up\nby 90 MW\/minute as the shadow passes.\nCAISO\n's typical ramp rate is 29 megawatts per minute.\n[\n155\n]\nAround 4 GW mainly in North Carolina and Georgia were expected to be 90 percent obscured.\n[\n154\n]\nAfter the 2017 eclipse, grid operators in California reported having lost 3,000–3,500 megawatts of utility-scale solar power, which was made up for by hydropower and gas reliably and as expected,\n[\n156\n]\n[\n157\n]\nmimicking the usual\nduck curve\n.\nEnergy demand management\nwas also used to mitigate the solar drop,\n[\n158\n]\nand NEST customers reduced their demand by 700 MW.\n[\n159\n]\nNV Energy\nprepared for the solar eclipse months in advance and collaborated with 17 western states. When the eclipse began covering California with partial darkness, which reduced its usual amount of solar-generated electricity, NV Energy sent power there. Likewise, when Nevada received less sunlight, other west coast states supplied electricity to it. During the solar eclipse, the state of Nevada lost about 450 megawatts of electricity, the amount used by about a quarter million typical residences.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nCommemorative stamp\n[\nedit\n]\nOn June 20, 2017, the\nUSPS\nreleased the first application of\nthermochromic ink\nto postage stamps in its\nTotal Eclipse of the Sun Forever stamp\nto commemorate the eclipse.\n[\n160\n]\n[\n161\n]\nWhen pressed with a finger, body heat turns the dark image into an image of the\nfull moon\n.

An area of about 9,000 square miles (23,000 km2), including the cities of Makanda, Carbondale, [Cape Girardeau, Missouri](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cape_Girardeau,_Missouri \"Cape Girardeau, Missouri\"), and [Paducah, Kentucky](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paducah,_Kentucky \"Paducah, Kentucky\"), thus experienced two total solar eclipses within a span of less than seven years.[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-25)[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-novelty-26) This occurrence is considered to be unusual, since the average interval for any given spot on Earth observing a total solar eclipse is about once every 375 years.[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-novelty-26)[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-ecli_Tota-27)\n\nThe [solar eclipse of August 12, 2045](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2045 \"Solar eclipse of August 12, 2045\"), will have a very similar path of totality over the U.S. to that of the 2017 eclipse: about 400 km (250 mi) to the southwest, also crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the country; however, totality will be more than twice as long, and it will be seen in other countries besides the United States. It will also be seen in the [Americas](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Western_Hemisphere \"Western

In northwestern [Europe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Europe \"Europe\") and Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening.

The event was received with much enthusiasm across the nation; people gathered outside their homes to watch it, and many parties were set up in the path of the eclipse. Many people left their homes and traveled hundreds of miles just to get a glimpse of totality. Marriage proposals were timed to coincide with the eclipse, as was at least one wedding.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-5)[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-EAE-6) Logistical problems arose with the influx of visitors, especially for smaller communities.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-Illegal_Camping_in_the_American_West-7) The sale of counterfeit eclipse glasses was also anticipated to be a hazard for eye injuries.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-cbc-amazonrecall-8)\n\nThe next solar eclipse that crossed the United States occurred [on April 8, 2024](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024 \"Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024\") (12 states).

Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season.

It was visible within a band that spanned the contiguous United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts. It was also visible as a partial solar eclipse from as far north as Nunavut in northern Canada to as far south as northern South America . In northwestern Europe and Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening. In northeastern Asia , it was partially visible at sunrise. Prior to this event, no solar eclipse had been visible across the entirety of the United States since June 8, 1918 ; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States. [ 2 ] The path of totality touched 14 states, and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse. [ 2 ] The area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States, [ 3 ] with most of this area over the ocean, not land. The event's shadow began to cover land on the Oregon coast as a partial eclipse at 4:05 p.m. UTC (9:05 a.m. PDT ), with the total eclipse beginning there at 5:16 p.m. UTC (10:16 a.m. PDT); the total eclipse's land coverage ended along the South Carolina coast at about 6:44 p.m. UTC (2:44 p.m. EDT ). [ 2 ] Visibility as a partial eclipse in Honolulu, Hawaii began with sunrise at 4:20 p.m. UTC (6:20 a.m. HST ) and ended by 5:25 p.m. UTC (7:25 a.m. HST). [ 4 ] This total solar eclipse marked the first such event in the smartphone and social media era in the United States. Information, personal communication, and photography were widely available as never before. The event was received with much enthusiasm across the nation; people gathered outside their homes to watch it, and many parties were set up in the path of the eclipse. Many people left their homes and traveled hundreds of miles just to get a glimpse of totality. Marriage proposals were timed to coincide with the eclipse, as was at least one wedding. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Logistical problems arose with the influx of visitors, especially for smaller communities. [ 7 ] The sale of counterfeit eclipse glasses was also anticipated to be a hazard for eye injuries. [ 8 ] The next solar eclipse that crossed the United States occurred on April 8, 2024 (12 states). Future solar eclipses that will be visible from the United States will occur on August 23, 2044 (3 states), and on August 12, 2045 (10 states). Annular solar eclipses —wherein the Moon appears smaller than the Sun—occurred in October 2023 (9 states) and will occur in June 2048 (9 states). Animation of the eclipse shadow: The dot in the center represents the path of totality. The total eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit and had a magnitude of 1.0306. Occurring about 3.2 days after perigee (on August 18, 2017, at 14:20 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger during this eclipse. [ 9 ] It was visible within a narrow corridor 70 miles (110 km) wide, crossing 14 of the contiguous United States : Oregon , Idaho , Montana , Wyoming , Nebraska , Kansas , Iowa , Missouri , Illinois , Kentucky , Tennessee , Georgia , North Carolina , and South Carolina . [ 10 ] [ 11 ] It was first seen from land in the U.S. shortly after 10:15 am PDT (17:15 UTC) at Oregon's Pacific coast, and then it progressed eastward through Salem, Oregon ; Idaho Falls, Idaho ; Casper, Wyoming ; Lincoln, Nebraska ; Kansas City, Missouri ; St. Louis, Missouri ; Hopkinsville, Kentucky ; and Nashville, Tennessee ; before reaching Columbia, South Carolina about 2:41 pm; [ 12 ] and finally Charleston, South Carolina . A partial eclipse was seen for a greater time period, beginning shortly after 9:00 am PDT along the Pacific Coast of Oregon. Weather forecasts predicted clear skies in Western U.S. and some Eastern states, but clouds in the Midwest and East Coast. [ 13 ] The longest ground duration of totality was 2 minutes 41.6 seconds at about 37°35′0″N 89°7′0″W / 37.58333°N 89.11667°W in Giant City State Park , just south of Carbondale, Illinois , and the greatest extent (width) was at 36°58′0″N 87°40′18″W / 36.96667°N 87.67167°W near the village of Cerulean, Kentucky , located in between Hopkinsville and Princeton . [ 14 ] This was the first total solar eclipse visible from the Southeastern United States since the solar eclipse of March 7, 1970 . Two NASA WB-57Fs flew above the clouds, prolonging the observation time spent in the umbra . [ 15 ] A partial solar eclipse was seen from the much broader path of the Moon 's penumbra , including all of North America , particularly areas just south of the totality pass, where the eclipse lasted about 3–5 hours, Hawaii , Central America , the Caribbean , northern South America , Western Europe , and some of West Africa and Northeast Asia . At one location in Wyoming, a small group of astronomers used telescopic lenses to photograph the sun as it was in partial eclipse, while the International Space Station was also seen to briefly transit the sun. [ 16 ] Similar images were captured by NASA from a location in Washington. (See Gallery – partial eclipse section). Other celestial bodies [ edit ] During the eclipse for a long span of its path of totality, several bright stars and four planets were visible. The star system Regulus was almost in conjunction with the Sun. Mars was 8° to the right, and Venus 34° right. Mercury was 10° left, and Jupiter 51° left. [ 17 ] Other eclipses over the United States [ edit ] This was the first total solar eclipse visible from the United States since that of July 11, 1991 [ 18 ] —which was seen only from part of Hawaii [ 19 ] —and the first visible from the contiguous United States since 1979. [ 20 ] An eclipse of comparable length (up to 3 minutes, 8 seconds, with the longest eclipse being 6 minutes and 54 seconds) occurred over the contiguous United States on March 7, 1970 along the southern portions of the Eastern Seaboard , from Florida to Virginia. [ 21 ] The path of totality of the solar eclipse of February 26, 1979 crossed only the states of Washington , Oregon , Idaho , Montana , and North Dakota . Many enthusiasts traveled to the Pacific Northwest to view the eclipse, since it would be the last chance to view such an eclipse in the contiguous United States for almost four decades. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] The path of totality across the United States The August 2017 eclipse was the first with a path of totality crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the U.S. since the solar eclipse of 1918 . Also, its path of totality made landfall exclusively within the United States, making it the first such eclipse since the country's declaration of independence in 1776 . Prior to this, the path of totality of the eclipse of June 13, 1257, was the last to make landfall exclusively on lands currently part of the United States. [ 24 ] The path of the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 crossed the path of the August 2017 eclipse, with the intersection occurring in southern Illinois in Makanda Township at Cedar Lake, just south of Carbondale . An area of about 9,000 square miles (23,000 km 2 ), including the cities of Makanda, Carbondale, Cape Girardeau, Missouri , and Paducah, Kentucky , thus experienced two total solar eclipses within a span of less than seven years. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] This occurrence is considered to be unusual, since the average interval for any given spot on Earth observing a total solar eclipse is about once every 375 years. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] The solar eclipse of August 12, 2045 , will have a very similar path of totality over the U.S. to that of the 2017 eclipse: about 400 km (250 mi) to the southwest, also crossing the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the country; however, totality will be more than twice as long, and it will be seen in other countries besides the United States. It will also be seen in the Americas .

[ 91 ] In Ottawa, viewing parties were held at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum . [ 92 ] In Toronto, viewing parties were held at the CNE and the Ontario Science Centre. [ 93 ] Mexico, Central America, Caribbean islands, South America [ edit ] A partial eclipse was visible from Central America , Mexico , the Caribbean islands , and ships and aircraft in and above the adjacent oceans, [ 94 ] as well as the northern countries of South America such as Colombia , Venezuela , and several others. [ 10 ] On the Caribbean Sea , Bonnie Tyler performed her 1983 song " Total Eclipse of the Heart " live with the pop group DNCE on board the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas , as the ship entered the eclipse's totality path, east of The Bahamas . [ 95 ] [ 96 ] Boundaries of the sunset partial eclipse in Western Europe In northwestern Europe , a partial eclipse was visible in the evening or at sunset. Only those in Iceland , Ireland , Scotland and the Portuguese Azores archipelago saw the eclipse from beginning to end; in Wales , England , Norway , the Netherlands , Belgium , France , Spain , and Portugal , sunset occurred before the end of the eclipse. In Germany , the beginning of the eclipse was visible just at sunset only in the extreme northwest of the country. In all regions east of the orange line on the map, the eclipse was not visible. [ 97 ] A partial eclipse was visible during sunrise or morning hours in Russian Far East (including Severnaya Zemlya and New Siberian Islands archipelagos). [ 98 ] [ 99 ] For big cities in Russia , the maximal obscuration was in Anadyr , and it was 27.82%. [ 100 ] In some locations in West Africa and western North Africa , a partial eclipse was seen just before and during sunset. [ 10 ] The most favorable conditions to see this eclipse gained the Cape Verde Archipelago with nearly 0.9 magnitude at the Pico del Fogo volcano. NASA TV 's live coverage was being watched by 4.4 million people at 1:40 EDT, accounting for 87% of all traffic to U.S. federal government websites. A large number of media outlets broadcast coverage of the eclipse, including television and internet outlets. NASA announced plans to offer streaming coverage through its NASA TV and NASA Edge outlets, using cameras stationed on the ground along the path of totality, along with cameras on high-altitude balloons , jets, and coverage from the International Space Station ; NASA stated that "never before will a celestial event be viewed by so many and explored from so many vantage points—from space, from the air, and from the ground." [ 101 ] ABC , CBS , and NBC announced that they would respectively broadcast live television specials to cover the eclipse with correspondents stationed across the path of totality, along with CNN , Fox News Channel , Science , and The Weather Channel . The PBS series Nova presented streaming coverage on Facebook hosted by Miles O'Brien , and aired a special episode chronicling the event—"Eclipse Over America"—later in the day (which marked the fastest production turnaround time in Nova history). [ 102 ] [ 103 ] Other institutions and services also announced plans to stream their perspectives of the eclipse, including the Exploratorium in San Francisco , the Elephant Sanctuary of Hohenwald, Tennessee , the Slooh robotic telescope app , and The Virtual Telescope Project . The Eclipse Ballooning Project, a consortium of schools and colleges that sent 50 high-altitude balloons into the sky during the eclipse to conduct experiments, provided streams of footage and GPS tracking of its launches. [ 101 ] [ 104 ] Contact with one balloon with $13,000 of scientific equipment, launched under the aegis of the LGF Museum of Natural History near Vale, Oregon , was lost at 20,000 feet (6,100 m). Given that the balloon was believed to have burst at 100,000 feet (30,000 m), it could have parachuted down anywhere from eastern Oregon to Caldwell, Idaho (most likely) to Sun Valley, Idaho ; a $1,000 reward is offered for its recovery. [ 105 ] The National Solar Observatory organized Citizen CATE volunteers to man 60 identical telescopes and instrumentation packages along the totality path to study changes in the corona over the duration of the eclipse. The Moon's umbra , as seen from the International Space Station In orbit , the International Space Station and the satellites Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter , Solar Dynamics Observatory , Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer , Solar and Heliospheric Observatory , and Hinode gathered data from the eclipse. [ 106 ] A viewing party was held at the White House, during which President Donald Trump appeared on the Truman Balcony with First Lady Melania Trump . With the Sun partially eclipsed, President Trump looked briefly in the general direction of the Sun before using solar viewing glasses. [ 107 ] Late-night comedians Trevor Noah and Conan O’Brien joked about Trump not wearing glasses, [ 108 ] [ 109 ] and The Independent described it as "perhaps one of the most enduring images of Donald Trump's presidency". [ 110 ] The rapper Joey Badass boasted of watching the solar eclipse without viewing glasses, considering that "our ancestors ain't have no fancy eyewear [and] they ain't all go blind". Unlike the US president, he did not wear viewing glasses during the entire eclipse. Later, he complained of vision problems and had to cancel his Cleveland, Chicago & Toronto shows on the Everybody Tour, due to "unforeseen circumstances". [ 111 ] The eclipse generated reports of abnormal behavior in animal and plant life. Some chickens came out from beneath their coops and began grooming, usually an evening activity. Horses displayed increased whinnying, running, and jumping after the event. Cicadas were reported to grow louder before going silent during totality. Various birds were also observed flying in unusually large formations. Flowers such as the Hibiscus closed their petals which typically happens at night, before opening again after the solar event. [ 112 ] Pornhub , a pornographic video-sharing website provided an unusual sociological and statistical report: its traffic dropped precipitously along the path of totality, so much so that its researchers were themselves surprised. [ 113 ] NASA reported over 90 million page views of the eclipse on its websites, making it the agency's biggest online event ever, beating the previous web traffic record about seven times over. [ 114 ] Counterfeit eclipse glasses [ edit ] Three people wearing eclipse glasses at the Kansas City National Security Campus in Kansas City, Missouri In the months leading up to the eclipse, many counterfeit glasses were put up for sale. Effective eclipse glasses must not only block most visible light, but most UV and infrared light as well. For visible light, the user should only be able to see the Sun, sunlight reflected off shiny metal, halogen bulbs, the filament in unfrosted incandescent bulbs, and similarly intense sources. Determining whether the glasses effectively block enough UV and infrared light requires the use of spectrophotometer , which is a rather expensive piece of lab equipment. [ 8 ] [ 115 ] The eye's retina lacks pain receptors , and thus damage can occur without one's awareness. [ 116 ] [ 117 ] The American Astronomical Society (AAS) said products meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard avoid risk to one's eyes and issued a list of reputable vendors of eclipse glasses. The organization warned against products claiming ISO certification or even citing the same number, but not tested by an accredited laboratory. Another problem was counterfeits of reputable vendors' products, some even claiming the company's name such as with American Paper Optics which published information detailing the differences between its glasses and counterfeits. [ 118 ] [ 116 ] Andrew Lund, the owner of a company which produces eclipse glasses, noted that not all counterfeit glasses were necessarily unsafe. He stated to Quartz that the counterfeits he tested blocked the majority of harmful light spectrum, concluding that "the IP is getting ripped off, but the good news is there are no long-term harmful effects." [ 115 ] As one example, the Springdale Library in metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, accidentally passed out dozens of pairs of counterfeit eclipse glasses, but as of August 23 had not received any reports of eye damage. [ 119 ] On July 27, 2017, Amazon required all eclipse viewing products sold on its website have a submission of origin and safety information, and proof of an accredited ISO certification. In mid-August 2017, Amazon recalled and pulled listings for eclipse viewing glasses that "may not comply with industry standards" and gave refunds to customers who had purchased them. [ 120 ] [ 8 ] Camera equipment damage [ edit ] Lensrentals, a camera rental company based in Tennessee , reported that many of its customers returned cameras and lenses with extensive damage. The most common problem reported was damage to the camera's sensor. This most often happens when shooting in live view mode, where the sensor is continuously exposed to the eclipse image and becomes damaged by the Sun's light. Another problem was the heat and brightness of the eclipse destroying the lens iris, which mechanically regulates the amount of light that enters the camera. Another problem reported was one of a cinema camera's neutral-density filter being damaged by the heat and light of the eclipse. The cost of all of this damage likely amounted to thousands of dollars. [ 121 ] A variable-message sign on U.S. Route 64 in North Carolina , alerting drivers of the eclipse Officials inside and near the path of totality planned – sometimes for years – for the sudden influx of people. [ 122 ] Smaller towns struggled to arrange viewing sites and logistics for what could have been a tourism boom or a disaster. [ 123 ] In the American West , illegal camping was a major concern, including near cities like Jackson Hole, Wyoming . [ 7 ] Idaho's Office of Emergency Management said Idaho was a prime viewing state, and advised jurisdictions to prepare for service load increases; nearly every hotel and motel room, campground, and in some cases backyards for nearly 100 miles (160 km) north and south of the path of totality had been reserved several months, if not years, in advance. [ 124 ] The state anticipated up to 500,000 visitors to join its 1.6 million residents. [ 125 ] Oregon deployed six National Guard aircraft and 150 soldiers because the influx of visitors coincided with the state's fire season. [ 126 ] Hospital staffing, and supplies of blood and anti–snake bite antidote, were augmented along the totality line. [ 127 ] Also in Oregon, there were reports of hoteliers canceling existing reservations made at the regular market rate and increasing their rate, sometimes threefold or more, for guests staying to view the eclipse. [ 128 ] The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) investigated various complaints and reached settlements with affected customers of at least 10 hotels in the state. [ 129 ] These settlements included refunds to the customers and fines paid to the DOJ. [ 130 ] Post-eclipse traffic problems [ edit ] Although traffic to areas within the path of totality was somewhat spread out over the days prior to the eclipse, [ 131 ] there were widespread traffic problems across the United States after the event ended. Michael Zeiler, an eclipse cartographer, had estimated that between 1.85 million and 7.4 million people would travel to the path of the eclipse. [ 132 ] Following the eclipse, it was estimated that 5 million people had travelled to the areas inside the path of totality to see the eclipse, which led to large-scale traffic jams after the end of totality. US officials anticipated a potentially even bigger travel turnout for the April 2024 solar eclipse 7 years later; [ 133 ] ultimately, over 20 million people travelled to witness totality for the latter eclipse. [ 134 ] In Oregon, because an estimated one million people were expected to arrive, the Oregon National Guard was called in to help manage traffic in Madras along US 26 and US 97 . [ 135 ] Madras Municipal Airport received more than 400 mostly personal planes that queued for hours while waiting to leave after the eclipse. [ 136 ] Officials in Idaho, where the totality path crossed the center of the state, began planning for the eclipse a year in advance. The state Transportation Department suspended construction projects along Interstate 15 , which traverses Eastern Idaho , from August 18–22 in order to have all lanes open; [ 137 ] their counterparts in neighboring Utah , where many were expected to travel the 220 miles (350 km) north via the highway from the Salt Lake City metropolitan area , did the same. On the morning of the eclipse, many drivers left before dawn, creating traffic volume along I-15 normally not seen until morning rush hour ; northbound traffic on the interstate in Box Elder County north of Salt Lake City slowed to 10–15 miles per hour (16–24 km/h). [ 138 ] The Idaho State Police (ISP) stationed a patrol car along I-15 every 15 miles (24 km) between Shelley and the Utah border. [ 139 ] Traffic backed up on I-15/ US 26 south of Idaho Falls After the eclipse, traffic more than doubled along I-15 southbound, with extensive traffic jams continuing for eight hours as viewers who had traveled north into the totality path from Utah returned there and to points south. The ISP tweeted a picture of bumper-to-bumper traffic stalled on the interstate just south of Idaho Falls . Motorists reported to local news outlets that it was taking them two hours to travel the 47 miles (76 km) from that city to Pocatello to the south, a journey that normally takes 45 minutes. [ 138 ] Others reported that it took three hours to travel from Idaho Falls to the closer city of Blackfoot , 30 miles (48 km) farther north of Pocatello. [ 140 ] In the rest of the state the impact was less severe. Traffic nearly doubled on US 93 , and was up 55 percent on US 20 . [ 141 ] For some northbound travelers on I-15 , the Montana Department of Transportation had failed to make similar plans to those in Idaho, scheduling a road construction project to begin on August 21 that narrowed a section of the highway to a single northbound lane, near the exit to Clark Canyon Dam south of Dillon . Though that stretch of highway generally has a traffic count of less than 1,000 vehicles per day, on the day of the eclipse there were over a thousand vehicles per hour at peak times. As a result, traffic backed up as far as Lima , creating a delay of at least an hour for travelers heading northward. Further, as construction had not yet begun, drivers observed cones set up but no workers present on the road. While the state traditionally halts construction projects during high traffic periods, a state official admitted "we ... probably made a bad mistake here in this regard." [ 131 ] Traffic waiting to get on Interstate 25 at Glendo, Wyoming , after the eclipse In Wyoming, estimates were that the population of the state, officially 585,000, may have doubled or even tripled, with traffic counts on August 21 showing 536,000 more cars than the five-year average for the third Monday in August; a 68 percent increase. One official offered an estimate of "two people in every car" to arrive at a one-million-visitor figure, and others noted that one million was a conservative estimate based on a one-day traffic count of limited portions of major highways. There were additional arrivals by aircraft, plus travelers who arrived early or stayed for additional days. [ 142 ] Two days before the eclipse, traffic increased 18 percent over a five-year average, with an additional 131,000 vehicles on the road. [ 143 ] Sunday saw an additional 217,000-vehicle increase. [ 142 ] Following the eclipse, more than 500,000 vehicles traveled Wyoming roads, creating large traffic jams, particularly on southbound and eastbound highways. [ 144 ] Drivers reported that it took up to 10 hours to travel 160 miles (260 km) into northern Colorado. [ 142 ] There was one traffic fatality, [ 145 ] and another fatality related to an off-highway ATV accident, but in general there were far fewer incidents and traffic citations than authorities had anticipated. [ 146 ] Traffic at a ramp to Interstate 75 near Sweetwater, Tennessee In Tennessee , the Knoxville News Sentinel described the traffic problems created by the eclipse as the worst ever seen in that part of the state . One backup along Interstate 75 reached 34 miles (55 km) in length, between Niota and the Interstate 40 interchange at Farragut . A spokesman for the state's Department of Transportation allowed that the traffic jams were the worst he had seen in six and a half years on the job, noting that accidents had aggravated the already heavy traffic flows, attributed the I-75 congestion to Knoxville -area residents heading for the totality path at Sweetwater and returning during what was the city's normal afternoon rush hour. [ 147 ] Before the eclipse, state officials had described their traffic expectations as equivalent to that generated by the Bonnaroo Music Festival , the twice-a-season NASCAR Cup Series races at Bristol or the formerly-held Boomsday fireworks festival. "Maybe they should have considered a tsunami of traffic combining all three of those heavily attended events", the News Sentinel commented. The Tennessee Highway Patrol made sure that "[e]very trooper not on sick leave or military leave or pre-approved leave [wa]s working" the day of the eclipse; the state DOT made sure its full complement of emergency-aid HELP trucks were available as well. Alert signs on the highways also warned motorists not to pull over onto the shoulders to watch the eclipse as it could increase the risk of dangerous accidents and block the path of emergency vehicles. [ 147 ] In North Carolina, the Department of Transportation added cameras, message boards and safety patrols in the counties where the total eclipse would take place, as well as stopping road work. The department warned that due to "unprecedented" traffic ordinary activities requiring driving might prove difficult, and advised people to act as if there were snow. [ 148 ] In Kentucky, particularly around the Hopkinsville area, which was dubbed "Eclipseville, USA", [ 149 ] post-eclipse traffic caused extensive delays. The en masse departure of tourists via Interstate 69 as well as the Western Kentucky Parkway resulted in commute times double or even triple of normal. [ 150 ] [ 151 ] The Hopkinsville-to-Lexington commute under normal circumstances lasts three and a half hours. Impact on solar power [ edit ] An eclipse causes a reduction of solar power generation where the Moon shadow covers any solar panel, as do clouds. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation predicted minor impacts, [ 152 ] and attempted to measure the impact of the 2017 eclipse. [ 153 ] In California, solar power was projected to decrease by 4–6,000 megawatts [ 154 ] at 70 MW/minute, and then ramp up by 90 MW/minute as the shadow passes. CAISO 's typical ramp rate is 29 megawatts per minute. [ 155 ] Around 4 GW mainly in North Carolina and Georgia were expected to be 90 percent obscured. [ 154 ] After the 2017 eclipse, grid operators in California reported having lost 3,000–3,500 megawatts of utility-scale solar power, which was made up for by hydropower and gas reliably and as expected, [ 156 ] [ 157 ] mimicking the usual duck curve . Energy demand management was also used to mitigate the solar drop, [ 158 ] and NEST customers reduced their demand by 700 MW. [ 159 ] NV Energy prepared for the solar eclipse months in advance and collaborated with 17 western states. When the eclipse began covering California with partial darkness, which reduced its usual amount of solar-generated electricity, NV Energy sent power there. Likewise, when Nevada received less sunlight, other west coast states supplied electricity to it. During the solar eclipse, the state of Nevada lost about 450 megawatts of electricity, the amount used by about a quarter million typical residences.

Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year.

The series started with a partial solar eclipse on January 4, 1639 . It contains an annular eclipse on June 6, 1891; a hybrid eclipse on June 17, 1909 ; and total eclipses from June 29, 1927 through September 9, 2648. The series ends at member 77 as a partial eclipse on April 17, 3009. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one exeligmos apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth. The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 15 at 6 seconds (by default) on June 6, 1891, and the longest duration of totality will be produced by member 50 at 7 minutes, 12 seconds on June 25, 2522. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit. [ 164 ] Series members 10–32 occur between 1801 and 2200: 10 11 12 April 13, 1801 April 24, 1819 May 4, 1837 13 14 15 May 16, 1855 May 26, 1873 June 6, 1891 16 17 18 June 17, 1909 June 29, 1927 July 9, 1945 19 20 21 July 20, 1963 July 31, 1981 August 11, 1999 22 23 24 August 21, 2017 September 2, 2035 September 12, 2053 25 26 27 September 23, 2071 October 4, 2089 October 16, 2107 28 29 30 October 26, 2125 November 7, 2143 November 17, 2161 31 32 November 28, 2179 December 9, 2197 The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node. 20 eclipse events between June 10, 1964 and August 21, 2036 June 10–11 March 28–29 January 14–16 November 3 August 21–22 117 119 121 123 125 June 10, 1964 March 28, 1968 January 16, 1972 November 3, 1975 August 22, 1979 127 129 131 133 135 June 11, 1983 March 29, 1987 January 15, 1991 November 3, 1994 August 22, 1998 137 139 141 143 145 June 10, 2002 March 29, 2006 January 15, 2010 November 3, 2013 August 21, 2017 147 149 151 153 155 June 10, 2021 March 29, 2025 January 14, 2029 November 3, 2032 August 21, 2036 This eclipse is a part of a tritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135 synodic months (≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles (≈ 33 years minus 3 months) come close (≈ 434.044 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.

Effective [eclipse glasses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_glasses "Eclipse glasses") must not only block most visible light, but most UV and infrared light as well. For visible light, the user should only be able to see the Sun, sunlight reflected off shiny metal, halogen bulbs, the filament in unfrosted incandescent bulbs, and similarly intense sources. Determining whether the glasses effectively block enough UV and infrared light requires the use of [spectrophotometer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry "Spectrophotometry"), which is a rather expensive piece of lab equipment.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-cbc-amazonrecall-8)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-quartz-fakeglasses-115) The eye's retina lacks [pain receptors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_receptor "Pain receptor"), and thus damage can occur without one's awareness.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-AmericanAstronomicalSociety2017-116)[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-117) The [American Astronomical Society](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Astronomical_Society "American Astronomical Society") (AAS) said products meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard avoid risk to one's eyes and issued a list of reputable vendors of eclipse glasses. The organization warned against products claiming ISO certification or even citing the same number, but not tested by an accredited laboratory. Another problem was counterfeits of reputable vendors' products, some even claiming the company's name such as with American Paper Optics which published information detailing the differences between its glasses and counterfeits.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-APO-118)[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-AmericanAstronomicalSociety2017-116) Andrew Lund, the owner of a company which produces eclipse glasses, noted that not all counterfeit glasses were necessarily unsafe. He stated to [Quartz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_$website$ "Quartz (website)") that the counterfeits he tested blocked the majority of harmful light spectrum, concluding that "the IP is getting ripped off, but the good news is there are no long-term harmful effects."[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-quartz-fakeglasses-115) As one example, the Springdale Library in metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, accidentally passed out dozens of pairs of counterfeit eclipse glasses, but as of August 23 had not received any reports of eye damage.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-119) On July 27, 2017, Amazon required all eclipse viewing products sold on its website have a submission of origin and safety information, and proof of an accredited ISO certification.

This most often happens when shooting in [live view](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_preview "Live preview") mode, where the sensor is continuously exposed to the eclipse image and becomes damaged by the Sun's light. Another problem was the heat and brightness of the eclipse destroying the lens iris, which mechanically regulates the amount of light that enters the camera. Another problem reported was one of a cinema camera's [neutral-density filter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral-density_filter "Neutral-density filter") being damaged by the heat and light of the eclipse.

A spokesman for the [state's Department of Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Department_of_Transportation "Tennessee Department of Transportation") allowed that the traffic jams were the worst he had seen in six and a half years on the job, noting that accidents had aggravated the already heavy traffic flows, attributed the I-75 congestion to [Knoxville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee "Knoxville, Tennessee")\-area residents heading for the totality path at [Sweetwater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetwater,_Tennessee "Sweetwater, Tennessee") and returning during what was the city's normal afternoon rush hour.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-Knoxville_News_Statesman_story-147) Before the eclipse, state officials had described their traffic expectations as equivalent to that generated by the [Bonnaroo Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnaroo_Music_Festival "Bonnaroo Music Festival"), the twice-a-season [NASCAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR "NASCAR") [Cup Series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Energy_NASCAR_Cup_Series "Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series") races at [Bristol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol,_Tennessee "Bristol, Tennessee") or the formerly-held [Boomsday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomsday "Boomsday") fireworks festival. "Maybe they should have considered a tsunami of traffic combining all three of those heavily attended events", the News Sentinel commented. The [Tennessee Highway Patrol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Highway_Patrol "Tennessee Highway Patrol") made sure that "\[e\]very trooper not on sick leave or military leave or pre-approved leave \[wa\]s working" the day of the eclipse; the state DOT made sure its full complement of emergency-aid HELP trucks were available as well. Alert signs on the highways also warned motorists not to pull over onto the shoulders to watch the eclipse as it could increase the risk of dangerous accidents and block the path of emergency vehicles.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-Knoxville_News_Statesman_story-147) In North Carolina, the [Department of Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Department_of_Transportation "North Carolina Department of Transportation") added cameras, message boards and safety patrols in the counties where the total eclipse would take place, as well as stopping road work. The department warned that due to "unprecedented" traffic ordinary activities requiring driving might prove difficult, and advised people to act as if there were snow.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-148) In Kentucky, particularly around the Hopkinsville area, which was dubbed "Eclipseville, USA",[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-149) post-eclipse traffic caused extensive delays. The en masse departure of tourists via [Interstate 69](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_69_in_Kentucky "Interstate 69 in Kentucky") as well as the [Western Kentucky Parkway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Kentucky_Parkway "Western Kentucky Parkway") resulted in commute times double or even triple of normal.[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-150)[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-151) The Hopkinsville-to-Lexington commute under normal circumstances lasts three and a half hours. ## Impact on solar power \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017&action=edit&section=31 "Edit section: Impact on solar power")\] An eclipse causes a reduction of [solar power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power "Solar power") generation where the Moon shadow covers any solar panel, as do clouds. The [North American Electric Reliability Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Electric_Reliability_Corporation "North American Electric Reliability Corporation") predicted minor impacts,[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-152) and attempted to measure the impact of the 2017 eclipse.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-153) In California, solar power was projected to decrease by 4–6,000 megawatts[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-eia2017-08-07-154) at 70 MW/minute, and then [ramp up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp_up "Ramp up") by 90 MW/minute as the shadow passes. [CAISO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAISO "CAISO")'s typical ramp rate is 29 megawatts per minute.[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-155) Around 4 GW mainly in North Carolina and Georgia were expected to be 90 percent obscured.[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-eia2017-08-07-154) After the 2017 eclipse, grid operators in California reported having lost 3,000–3,500 megawatts of utility-scale solar power, which was made up for by hydropower and gas reliably and as expected,[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-156)[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-157) mimicking the usual [duck curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve "Duck curve"). [Energy demand management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_demand_management "Energy demand management") was also used to mitigate the solar drop,[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-158) and NEST customers reduced their demand by 700 MW.[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-159) [NV Energy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV_Energy "NV Energy") prepared for the solar eclipse months in advance and collaborated with 17 western states. When the eclipse began covering California with partial darkness, which reduced its usual amount of solar-generated electricity, NV Energy sent power there. Likewise, when Nevada received less sunlight, other west coast states supplied electricity to it. During the solar eclipse, the state of Nevada lost about 450 megawatts of electricity, the amount used by about a quarter million typical residences.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ## Commemorative stamp \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017&action=edit&section=32 "Edit section: Commemorative stamp")\] Main article: [2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Total_Solar_Eclipse_stamp "2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp") On June 20, 2017, the [USPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service "United States Postal Service") released the first application of [thermochromic ink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromic_ink "Thermochromic ink") to postage stamps in its [Total Eclipse of the Sun Forever stamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Total_Solar_Eclipse_stamp "2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp") to commemorate the eclipse.[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-160)[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-stamp-161) When pressed with a finger, body heat turns the dark image into an image of the [full moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon "Full moon").

145](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Saros_145 "Solar Saros 145"), repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 77 events. The series started with a partial solar eclipse on [January 4, 1639](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_January_4,_1639 "Solar eclipse of January 4, 1639"). It contains an annular eclipse on June 6, 1891; a hybrid eclipse on [June 17, 1909](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_June_17,_1909 "Solar eclipse of June 17, 1909"); and total eclipses from [June 29, 1927](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_June_29,_1927 "Solar eclipse of June 29, 1927") through September 9, 2648. The series ends at member 77 as a partial eclipse on April 17, 3009. Its eclipses are tabulated in three columns; every third eclipse in the same column is one [exeligmos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exeligmos "Exeligmos") apart, so they all cast shadows over approximately the same parts of the Earth. The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 15 at 6 seconds (by default) on June 6, 1891, and the longest duration of totality will be produced by member 50 at 7 minutes, 12 seconds on June 25, 2522. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s [ascending node](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_node "Lunar node") of orbit.[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-164) \| Series members 10–32 occur between 1801 and 2200: \| \| \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| 10 \| 11 \| 12 \| \|

It was also visible as a [partial solar eclipse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_solar_eclipse "Partial solar eclipse") from as far north as [Nunavut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunavut "Nunavut") in [northern Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Canada "Northern Canada") to as far south as northern [South America](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America "South America"). In northwestern [Europe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe "Europe") and Africa, it was partially visible in the late evening. In northeastern [Asia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia "Asia"), it was partially visible at sunrise.

Effective [eclipse glasses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_glasses "Eclipse glasses") must not only block most visible light, but most UV and infrared light as well. For visible light, the user should only be able to see the Sun, sunlight reflected off shiny metal, halogen bulbs, the filament in unfrosted incandescent bulbs, and similarly intense sources. Determining whether the glasses effectively block enough UV and infrared light requires the use of [spectrophotometer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrophotometry "Spectrophotometry"), which is a rather expensive piece of lab equipment.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-cbc-amazonrecall-8)[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-quartz-fakeglasses-115) The eye's retina lacks [pain receptors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_receptor "Pain receptor"), and thus damage can occur without one's awareness.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-AmericanAstronomicalSociety2017-116)[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-117) The [American Astronomical Society](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Astronomical_Society "American Astronomical Society") (AAS) said products meeting the ISO 12312-2 standard avoid risk to one's eyes and issued a list of reputable vendors of eclipse glasses. The organization warned against products claiming ISO certification or even citing the same number, but not tested by an accredited laboratory. Another problem was counterfeits of reputable vendors' products, some even claiming the company's name such as with American Paper Optics which published information detailing the differences between its glasses and counterfeits.[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-APO-118)[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-AmericanAstronomicalSociety2017-116) Andrew Lund, the owner of a company which produces eclipse glasses, noted that not all counterfeit glasses were necessarily unsafe. He stated to [Quartz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_$website$ "Quartz (website)") that the counterfeits he tested blocked the majority of harmful light spectrum, concluding that "the IP is getting ripped off, but the good news is there are no long-term harmful effects."[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-quartz-fakeglasses-115) As one example, the Springdale Library in metropolitan Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, accidentally passed out dozens of pairs of counterfeit eclipse glasses, but as of August 23 had not received any reports of eye damage.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-119) On July 27, 2017, Amazon required all eclipse viewing products sold on its website have a submission of origin and safety information, and proof of an accredited ISO certification.

The most common problem reported was damage to the camera's sensor. This most often happens when shooting in [live view](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_preview "Live preview") mode, where the sensor is continuously exposed to the eclipse image and becomes damaged by the Sun's light. Another problem was the heat and brightness of the eclipse destroying the lens iris, which mechanically regulates the amount of light that enters the camera. Another problem reported was one of a cinema camera's [neutral-density filter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral-density_filter "Neutral-density filter") being damaged by the heat and light of the eclipse.

A spokesman for the [state's Department of Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Department_of_Transportation "Tennessee Department of Transportation") allowed that the traffic jams were the worst he had seen in six and a half years on the job, noting that accidents had aggravated the already heavy traffic flows, attributed the I-75 congestion to [Knoxville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville,_Tennessee "Knoxville, Tennessee")\-area residents heading for the totality path at [Sweetwater](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetwater,_Tennessee "Sweetwater, Tennessee") and returning during what was the city's normal afternoon rush hour.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-Knoxville_News_Statesman_story-147) Before the eclipse, state officials had described their traffic expectations as equivalent to that generated by the [Bonnaroo Music Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnaroo_Music_Festival "Bonnaroo Music Festival"), the twice-a-season [NASCAR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR "NASCAR") [Cup Series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Energy_NASCAR_Cup_Series "Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series") races at [Bristol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol,_Tennessee "Bristol, Tennessee") or the formerly-held [Boomsday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomsday "Boomsday") fireworks festival. "Maybe they should have considered a tsunami of traffic combining all three of those heavily attended events", the News Sentinel commented. The [Tennessee Highway Patrol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Highway_Patrol "Tennessee Highway Patrol") made sure that "\[e\]very trooper not on sick leave or military leave or pre-approved leave \[wa\]s working" the day of the eclipse; the state DOT made sure its full complement of emergency-aid HELP trucks were available as well. Alert signs on the highways also warned motorists not to pull over onto the shoulders to watch the eclipse as it could increase the risk of dangerous accidents and block the path of emergency vehicles.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-Knoxville_News_Statesman_story-147) In North Carolina, the [Department of Transportation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Department_of_Transportation "North Carolina Department of Transportation") added cameras, message boards and safety patrols in the counties where the total eclipse would take place, as well as stopping road work. The department warned that due to "unprecedented" traffic ordinary activities requiring driving might prove difficult, and advised people to act as if there were snow.[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-148) In Kentucky, particularly around the Hopkinsville area, which was dubbed "Eclipseville, USA",[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-149) post-eclipse traffic caused extensive delays. The en masse departure of tourists via [Interstate 69](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_69_in_Kentucky "Interstate 69 in Kentucky") as well as the [Western Kentucky Parkway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Kentucky_Parkway "Western Kentucky Parkway") resulted in commute times double or even triple of normal.[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-150)[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-151) The Hopkinsville-to-Lexington commute under normal circumstances lasts three and a half hours. ## Impact on solar power \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017&action=edit&section=31 "Edit section: Impact on solar power")\] An eclipse causes a reduction of [solar power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power "Solar power") generation where the Moon shadow covers any solar panel, as do clouds. The [North American Electric Reliability Corporation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Electric_Reliability_Corporation "North American Electric Reliability Corporation") predicted minor impacts,[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-152) and attempted to measure the impact of the 2017 eclipse.[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-153) In California, solar power was projected to decrease by 4–6,000 megawatts[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-eia2017-08-07-154) at 70 MW/minute, and then [ramp up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp_up "Ramp up") by 90 MW/minute as the shadow passes. [CAISO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAISO "CAISO")'s typical ramp rate is 29 megawatts per minute.[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-155) Around 4 GW mainly in North Carolina and Georgia were expected to be 90 percent obscured.[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-eia2017-08-07-154) After the 2017 eclipse, grid operators in California reported having lost 3,000–3,500 megawatts of utility-scale solar power, which was made up for by hydropower and gas reliably and as expected,[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-156)[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-157) mimicking the usual [duck curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve "Duck curve"). [Energy demand management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_demand_management "Energy demand management") was also used to mitigate the solar drop,[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-158) and NEST customers reduced their demand by 700 MW.[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-159) [NV Energy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV_Energy "NV Energy") prepared for the solar eclipse months in advance and collaborated with 17 western states. When the eclipse began covering California with partial darkness, which reduced its usual amount of solar-generated electricity, NV Energy sent power there. Likewise, when Nevada received less sunlight, other west coast states supplied electricity to it. During the solar eclipse, the state of Nevada lost about 450 megawatts of electricity, the amount used by about a quarter million typical residences.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ## Commemorative stamp \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017&action=edit&section=32 "Edit section: Commemorative stamp")\] On June 20, 2017, the [USPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service "United States Postal Service") released the first application of [thermochromic ink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromic_ink "Thermochromic ink") to postage stamps in its [Total Eclipse of the Sun Forever stamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Total_Solar_Eclipse_stamp "2017 Total Solar Eclipse stamp") to commemorate the eclipse.[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-160)[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_21,_2017#cite_note-stamp-161) When pressed with a finger, body heat turns the dark image into an image of the [full moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon "Full moon").
