说明: 你计划去观赏8月21日的美国日食吗？在那天的日出后的数小时，在切过美国的一道狭窄路径上，可见到相对罕见的日全食。不在这个带状区内的人，则会看到日偏食。虽然有些美国人就住在全食带之内，但是，一定有更多人会规划开车前去这个带状区。不过观赏日月食，有时会受到云层的干扰。所以为了增加视野清朗的机会，你不妨参考这幅主题图片，然后找个历史记录上常是蓝天的地点，以免全食阶段受到乌云的遮蔽。因为大部分的美国人拥有照相功能的智慧手机，这次的美国日食，可能会成为世界历史上最广被拍摄的天文事件。

Explanation: Are you planning to see the American Eclipse on August 21?A few hours after sunrise, a rare total eclipse of the Sun will be visible along a narrow path across the USA.Those only near the path will see a partial eclipse. Although some Americans live right in path of totality, surely many more will be able to get there after a well-planned drive. One problem with eclipses, though, is that clouds sometimes get in the way. To increase your clear-viewing odds, you might consult the featured map and find a convenient destination with a historically low chance (more blue) of thick clouds overhead during totality.Given the large fraction of Americans carrying camera-equipped smartphones, this American Eclipse may turn out to be the most photographed event in the history of the world.
