A story on the eclipse camp by KSL, thank you for everyone who came!

There are a lot of open fields where campers can park an RV, pitch a tent and watch Monday’s total eclipse. But one family in Rexburg is drawing interest from across the country and around the world for the cause it represents.

Question of the day:

Q: Is Rexburg, Idaho in the path of totality?
A: Yes. The total eclipse will be viewable in Rexburg for 2 minutes and 17 seconds beginning at 11:33 a.m. The eclipse will travel coast to coast in 94 minutes, which works out to nearly 27 miles per minute or about 1,600 mph which is three times faster than a commercial jetliner. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon aligns between the Earth and the sun. The shadow directly under the moon, called the umbra, is a total eclipse. The moon will also have a penumbra, which is a lighter shadow around the umbra. This is viewed as a partial eclipse. The path of the moon’s umbra as it moves across Earth is called the path of totality; the umbra is estimated to be about 70 miles wide. You need to be within 11 miles of the centerline of the eclipse to maximize the viewing time of the total eclipse. Every mile outside of that center zone the time of total eclipse drops.
