If you haven’t already heard the word on the street, starting at about 10:16am directly above Jackson, Wyoming on Monday, August 21st 2017 we’re going to have a total solar eclipse. I know it’s still two and a half years away, but that hasn’t stopped people from all over the world from booking hotels in Jackson for that week. I’ve personally received inquiries from England, Belgium, and the Netherlands, not to mention another dozen or so from folks all over the US. So, if you’re planning on coming to Jackson for the eclipse book your hotel soon because they are filling up fast!
Aunque hay lugares perdidos alrededor de los Estados Unidos continentales desde los cuales ver el eclipse, Jackson está preparado para ser uno de los mejores. Quiero decir, vamos, ¿dónde más puedes ir para ver un eclipse solar total con un águila calva volando sobre la cabeza, bisontes pastando en primer plano, picos de 13,000 pies detrás de ti, oso grizzly, alce y alce retozando a un lado? y el aullido de un lobo en la distancia. Bueno, tal vez no todas esas criaturas al mismo tiempo, pero entiendes la idea.
The charismatic mega fauna aside, seeing the total solar eclipse is really the once in a lifetime opportunity. To help you out, Wyoming Stargazing has set up a new page on our website with all the information you’ll need to keep track of. The URL for that page is:

¡Esperamos verte en Jackson en agosto de 2017!
Cielos despejados,
