Millions of people are expected to view the total solar eclipse spanning across the continental United States Aug. 21.

There will be watch parties across the Sacramento region and several people are taking the trip up to Oregon to see the sun covered in its totality. We hear from reporters, an astronomy professor and photographer following this momentous celestial experience.
