2:03Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS —
VO: Hundreds from all over the world gathered outside the Museum of Idaho to see a once in a lifetime phenomenon— A total Solar Eclipse.
SOT: “It goes all the way across the country in about a 70 mile strip of darkness for about two minutes roughly all the way to South Carolina, and Northern Georgia,” NASA Communications outreach representative, Joe Witte says.
SOT: “In Idaho Falls this is the first eclipse for centuries to come through our town the only eclipse for centuries to come. The next one is 2252,” The director of education for the Museum of Idaho Chloe Doucette says.
VO: Before experiencing full totality the crowd viewed a partial eclipse. They even got to see unique shadows created by the partial eclipse.

VO: An official from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Kevin Hussey, helped nominate the Museum of Idaho as one of NASA’s official viewing site.
SOT: “Because we’re down in the valley we have the best chance of blue skies. We were picked as the official site,” Museum of Idaho Marketing Director, Deborah M. Chessey says.
SOT: “As a long time weather forecaster I look at the long range forecast, but primarily I look back at history of where were the best chances for clear skies and Idaho Falls was right in that bullet, so that’s why I came to Idaho Falls,” NASA Communication outreach representative, Joe Witte says.
VO: Officials told us before the eclipse that during totality it would be almost completely dark. The sun’s corona could be any color, but it typically appears to be white.
SOT: “It’ll just be a hole in the sky. For about a minute and forty seconds we should be able to see the coronas coming off the sun, we’ll be able to see four different planets,” Chessey says.
SOT: “You’ll be able to see the stars, you’ll be able to get a 360 sunset sort of view, so it’ll be really special,” Doucette says.
Cut to B-Roll of the Eclipse.
VO: And, after viewing the of the total eclipse the crowd was still in awe.
SOT: “I literally had chills over my whole body and I almost cried it was so beautiful,” Akaysha Greer says.
SOT: “I don’t think we can describe it, that was so cool,” Greer mother says.
VO: In Idaho Falls, I’m Natalia Hepworth, EastIdahoNews.com.
