August: Osage County starring Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Juliette Lewis, and Benedict Cumberbatch is reviewed by Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Christy Lemire (ChristieLemire.com).
Nearly 3/4 of the time there are 2 eclipses in a year. On the other hand, it is quite rare to have 5 solar eclipses in a single year. The last time it happened was in 1935 and the next time is 2206. Typically there is 1 total eclipse every 1 to 2 years. Although it is possible to have 2 total eclipses in a single year, it is quite rare.
Bottom line: Links to everything you need to know about the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. Itâll be the first total solar eclipse visible from the U.S. since 1991 (seen only from part of Hawaii), and first visible from contiguous U.S. since 1979.
