A total of 13 US states will be in the path of totality and the others will experience a partial eclipse of varying degrees.

Those viewing the eclipse in the path of totality have a great chance of viewing the comet if the sky is dark enough in their location.
The comet is known as the Mother of Dragons and also 12P/Pons-Brooks.
All you need to know about the upcoming SupermoonIt received its Mother of Dragons nickname as ESA researchers think it's the parent body of the kappa-Draconids meteor shower.
It's also being referred to as the green devil due to a photo, which looks like it has devil horns.
The comet is about 10.5 miles and easy to spot if you know where to look.
April is a great month to view it before it disappears again for another 71 years.
HOW TO SEE THE COMET DURING THE SOLARE ECLIPSE
A good technique for finding the comet during the total eclipse involves finding Jupiter.
The planet will appear as a small bright dot to the upper left of the eclipse.
Look up again and to the right and this is where the comet will be, in between the sun and Jupiter.
Remember you should never look at the Sun directly.
You can take off your eclipse glasses when the Sun is completely blocked and the sky is dark.
After this, either put your glasses back on or look away and find a new way to watch the phenomenon.
