A question I get asked a lot is what will I be able to see where I live during a solar eclipse?
Well, that depends on where you are.
The moon's shadow makes landfall on the west coast of Mexico and cuts across North America from southwest to northeast.
The shadow of the moon will be widest at 123.7 miles across when it first touches Mexico.
By the time it makes its way across the U.S., it will shrink to about 108 miles across.
And that shadow moves fast.
By the time it makes its way to New England, it will be moving at more than 2700 miles per hour.
In New Hampshire, the shadow will cut across the extreme northern section of the state.
And in order to see the eclipse as total, you have to be in that section at the right time.
The closer to the centerline of the shadow, the longer totality will last.
If you're outside the shadow, you'll see a partial solar eclipse and you must protect your eyes during the entire eclipse.
So its location, location, location that will determine what you see.
