Missouri and Illinois are two of 15 states in the contiguous United States that will be in the path of totality.In a regular eclipse, the moon crosses between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring part of the planet's view of its nearest star. In a total solar eclipse, the moon covers the Sun's disk entirely, leaving only the corona or solar prominences visible.The 2017 total eclipse moved from Oregon to South Carolina and out to the Atlantic Ocean.

You will never regret traveling to the path of totality."This time, however, that path will be wider and the duration of totality will be longer, so the 31 mil...
