When the eclipse first touches Oregon, the Moon's shadow is racing at approximately 3,400 miles per hour!
For this eclipse, the longest period when the moon completely blocks the sun from any given location along the path will be about two minutes and 40 seconds. The last time the contiguous U.S. saw a total eclipse was in 1979. Figure 3 â Diagram showing the Earth-sun-moon geometry of a total solar eclipse.
