CBS News Logo “Great American Eclipse”: Excitement builds for total solar eclipse Aug. 21
On Aug. 21, the moon will slip between Earth and sun, casting a roughly 70-mile-wide shadow that will race across the United States from Oregon to South Carolina, giving tens of millions of Americans a chance to enjoy -- and study -- a fleeting but sublime spectacle, the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in 99 years. It has been dubbed, appropriately enough, the "Great American Eclipse." "It really is fortunate," said Matthew Penn, an astronomer with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory who is leading a nationwide effort to photograph the eclipse from 68 sites along the path of totality. "The U.S. only covers 2 percent of the globe, so we get very few eclipses," he said. "And to have one travel across the entire country is an unprecedented sort of opportunity. It'll be a heck of day. The best thing is, it can't be cloudy everywhere!" The first inklings of what's to come will be visible from the Oregon coast, weather permitting, around 9:05 a.m. local time (12:05 p.m. EDT) … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo “Great American Eclipse”: Excitement builds for total solar eclipse Aug. 21
Going to great lengths: Cycling Britain from Land’s End to John O’Groats
Winding our way north through hilly Shropshire, England, toward the village of Clun. It was late afternoon, and we were pooped but still had more than an hour to go to a friend’s house north of Clun in the enchantingly named town of Bishop’s Castle. (Margaret Brown/For The Washington Post) It was our third day on the road. After we made it through the traffic-clogged city of Plymouth and the rain had moved from gentle mist to angry drops, we began cycling 1,200 feet up and through the Dartmoor National Park in England’s Devon County. Foggy and desolate, but so beautiful, the moorland was like nothing either of us had seen before. And so cold. Could this really be May? We stopped for tea and warmth at the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown, the highest village on the moor, and then coaxed our dripping selves back outside for the remaining 14 wet miles down to the village of Moretonhampstead, population 1,700. There, in the White Hart Hotel, a room awaited us, a room with a … [Read more...] about Going to great lengths: Cycling Britain from Land’s End to John O’Groats
