Small Indiana City Named Best Spot To View Total Solar Eclipse

According to NASA, the Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in parts of 15 U.S. states. The Total Solar Eclipse will plunge much of Indiana into momentary darkness. This astronomical event won't be able to be seen again from the U.S. for another 20 years. And with Indiana being one of only a few states that will be able to experience the eclipse, it's no wonder so many people from all over the nation will be here to see it. While many will head to a larger city like Indianapolis to get a good view of the eclipse, a small town in the Hoosier state lands on a list of only 20 cities that will give you the best view.
