Details for the 21 AUG 2017 Total Solar Eclipse at Lincoln City, OR:
Latitude: 44° 57′ 29″ N
Longitude: 124° 01′ 04″ W
Duration of Totality*: 1m 55s
Partial phase start: 9:04:41AM (PDT), at “1:00 o’clock” on the sun’s disk
Totality Start*: 10:16:07AM (PDT)
*All times shown are calculated for the lat/long specified above, and are accurate to within a couple of seconds, due mainly to influences of the “edge effects” at the start and end of totality.
For a more detailed explanation of this, please see the “About Accuracy” section of this great 2017 eclipse page by Ernie Wright of NASA!
Please also note that these times have been converted from UTC; if you see times on other sites that say “UTC”/ “UT”, or “GMT”, those are NOT the local times for you in Lincoln City!
Lincoln City is in the path of totality for the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017!
Observers there will see (appx.) 1m 55s of totality!
(Get your eclipse glasses – you MUST have them to safely view the partial phases!)
I’ll post more as information becomes available.
