Sea snakes give birth in the ocean to an average of 2â9 young, but as many as 34 may be born. The 54 species in subfamily Hydrophiinae belong to 16 different genera. The six species of sea kraits (genus Laticauda) are not as specialized for aquatic life as the true sea snakes.
The August 2017 eclipse will be the first with a path of totality crossing the USA's Pacific coast and Atlantic coast since 1918. Also, its path of totality makes landfall exclusively within the United States, making it the first such eclipse since the country's independence in 1776.
All of North America and part of South America will experience, at the least, a partial solar eclipse. Featured here is a map of the path of totality, computed by eclipse expert Fred Espenak of NASA's GSFC. Many people who have seen a total solar eclipse tell stories about it for the rest of their lives. The last path of solar totality that included any part of the contiguous USA was in 1979, and the next two will be in 2024 and 2044. Zoom in: An interactive map of the eclipse path.
