So we have a solar eclipse coming in August of this year. I think the last one to be seen in the USA was sometime in the 70s or 80s. I vaguely remember this. I remember having to look through film negatives to look at it. State politicians are now discussing delaying school until the day after the eclipse for some school districts for liabilty reasons. Midlands schools plan delayed starts because of August eclipse
The path looks like it's going to pass pretty close to my town, maybe my backyard. I live just south of Lexington.

A few of questions I have are:
1. How do the experts know exactly, down to the second, when this thing is gonna be best viewed at different locations?
2. How do they know the path of the viewing?
3. What kind of glasses should I use to view this without damaging my eyes?
The path of the eclipse across the nation looks like this.

Millions are expected to come to South Carolina for this event. I may have to take the day off from work. It is expected to be here during my commute to work.
