eclipse

The 'Great American Eclipse' is coming August 21st and the pacific northwest is ground zero! Pasco will not have totality (total blackness) however Tri-Cities will see 96% totality!!! Not to shabby. Here's an event that's free for the whole family!

According to information released by PEMCO Insurance and MyNorthwest.com, Monday's solar eclipse will be the first one to be seen across the entire U.S. since 1917.

Transportation officials in both Oregon and Washington claim the Great American Eclipse will cause "The Biggest Traffic Event" both states have ever seen!

In case you haven't heard, a very rare solar eclipse could bring over a million tourists to Oregon, especially across a band reaching from Salem through Umatilla County including Baker and Prairie Cities. That's the main path where it will be most visible anywhere.

If you want to stay up late, watch it!

Look for a lunar eclipse on Tuesday that should turn the moon a dark rusty color. Some are saying it's the "blood-red moon" prophesied in different religions. But don't expect the end of the world. It's predicted to happen three more time in the next two years!

Amateur astronomers may want to dust off their telescopes Tuesday because Venus will pass in front of the sun in an event that NASA says only comes once every hundred years or so.

Luckily the clouds decided to break Monday night just in time to witness a full lunar eclipse According to NASA, this is the first eclipse on a solstice in nearly 400 years!
