The Incredible Moment When Wyoming Will Go Dark That Will Go Down In History
On August 21, 2017, for the first time in almost 100 years, Wyoming will experience a total solar eclipse.
Not since 1918 has the beautiful Wyoming sky gone dark due to an eclipse of this caliber, and it’s not going to be easy to miss. The astrological event will cut a wide swath across the state, taking place roughly between 11:30 and 11:50 a.m., depending on where you’re at when it occurs. Most of the state has been gearing up for this once-in-a-lifetime experience for over a year, but if you haven’t been on the eclipse bandwagon until now, here is some more information on this incredible historic occurrence.


Certain spots in Wyoming will see night-like darkness, but even the areas outside the path of totality will experience darkened skies and slight temperature drops.


P.S. Don't try to use your cell phone to view the eclipse, either. It doesn't have the specialized solar filter that's necessary for protecting your eyes.


The weeks before and after the eclipse are going to be busy ones. It's estimated that anywhere between 48,000 to over 190,000 people will travel to Wyoming to be in the right place at the right time, so be ready to wait in line practically everywhere you go.


In anticipation of possible issues, some providers have already beefed up network speeds and capacities and confidently reassure customers that they'll have coverage when the time comes.
