Getting ready for the big solar eclipse. By MICHELLE MCKISSACK
On August 21, 2017, something will happen in the United States that hasn’t happened in a very long time. On that date will be the first total solar eclipse to occur in the U.S. since 1979, and the first eclipse in almost 100 years to cross the entire country from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean.
