In case you hadn’t noticed the news from the 4,835,762 blogs trying as hard as they can to game Google and get some of that sweet, sweet eclipse traffic, there’s a rare total solar eclipse happening soon. The eclipse is set to take place on Monday, and it’ll be visible on the West Coast beginning in the early morning at 9:05 AM local time. This fantastic natural phenomenon will then sweep across the country for several hours, giving millions of Americans the chance to experience it. Here’s a schedule from timeanddate.com:
