The continental USA will be treated to a solar eclipse on Monday, and while many Americans will be in the path of totality, not everyone will get to see the sky go completely dark in the middle of the afternoon. But the USA TODAY Network will offer live coverage of totality so anyone can watch the sun be completely blacked out by the moon.
Starting on the West Coast in Oregon and ending in South Carolina, reporters will show you the total solar eclipse on Instagram, so that you can see the path of totality from across the country.
Follow @USATODAY on Instagram Monday, to see reporter Jefferson Graham kick off the eclipse-chase from Newport, Ore., at 10 a.m. PT. Totality begins at 10:15 a.m. local time, 1:15 p.m. ET.
Graham will hand off to the @statesmanjournal in Salem, Ore., which will experience totality at 10:17 a.m. local time, 1:17 p.m. ET.
From there, reporters in Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina will show viewers what totality looks like in their states.
Viewers will get a front-row seat to eclipse festivities across the country, with pit stops at Carhenge in Alliance, Neb., and a beach in Charleston, S.C., as the eclipse leaves the continental U.S.
