Yea, I did read the moon was going to be to far away to fully cover the disc of the sun, but it will be awesome to see. I suspect a lot of people are going to be traveling to the area to see it. On 7/21/2010 8:52 AM, Dunn, David wrote:
This is an annular eclipse so the Moon won't cover the Sun properly to allow viewing of the Corona. It will still be neat to look at but won't be as good as the one they had in the South Pacific this year.
The next total eclipse in our area is in 2017. It is cutting right across the US including towns like Idaho Falls and Jackson WY. It is Monday, 21 Aug 2017.

As a lot of you are probably aware there will be a full solar eclipse on
May 20th 2012. The full disc eclipse is going to pass right through Glen
Canyon National Recreation Area, almost directly over Horsehoe Bend right south of Page, AZ.
We are already working with a number of other parks to set up events for
the few days surrounding the eclipse. If anyone has any input or ideas or would like to join in we are really hoping to get a good turnout.
