The eclipse reaches Oregon at about 10:15 a.m. PDT and exits the state at 10:27 a.m. At the coast, the greaest duration of totality is 2 minutes and as the eclipse exits Oregon, the duration of totality has increased to 2 minutes and 10 seconds. When the eclipse first touches Oregon, the Moon's shadow is racing at approximately 3,400 miles per hour!
The shortest eclipse occurred in 1912 on April 17. It only lasted for 2 seconds because the shadow just barely touched the surface of the Earth. The longest eclipse on record occurred in the year 671 on December 7th. It lasted for 10 minutes and 18 seconds. These are the times that an observer standing on some point would be able to see the eclipse. The total time that the Sun's shadow can travel across the surface of the Earth is measured in hours.
