Fly over the Great American Eclipse

This animation takes you on a flyover of the path of total eclipse on August 21, 2017. Nature's grandest sight, a total eclipse of the Sun, passes over the USA from Oregon to South Carolina. The Moon's shadow, where everyone will see the breathtaking sight of totality, races across the USA in 93 minutes. Learn more at www.GreatAmericanEclipse.com
This animation is built with advanced GIS software, ArcGIS Pro, using detailed imagery base map draped on a elevation model. The figures for the Moon's shadow are by Ernie Wright of NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio, see svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/det... for details.

This year is gonna be big for America!

[@johnnybgood5388]

Yeah, too bad most Americans don't care about it. They're too busy watching reality shows. I told a few of my coworkers. My guestimate on responses, in addition to my family's (who didn't care either), is maybe less than 1% of Americans care or will bother to go see it. At least traffic isn't going to be AS bad as it could be.

+Johnny B Good I'm quite happy to say that I am not one of those Americans.
