Will you see the total solar eclipse from metro Atlanta? See how far you may need to travel based on ZIP code

This is the first total solar eclipse to cross the U.S. from coast to coast in 99 years. It starts at 1:15 PM EDT in Oregon and ends in South Carolina at 2:45 EDT. It happens on Monday, Aug. 21. It will be visible to anyone within 200 miles of its path. Looking straight at the sun can blind you. Use safety glasses.

For the first time in nearly 100 years, a total solar eclipse will cross the continental United States from coast to coast.
