“The path of totality,” otherwise called TPOT here at Wyoming in Motion, is a roughly 65-mile wide band beneath which people will be able to see the “total eclipse” of the Great American Eclipse.
It will take an hour from the time the moon begins to eclipse the sun for it to reach totality, the totality will last for two minutes or so, and then it will take another hour for the moon to continue in its motion and leave the sun behind.
Cities outside the 65-mile-wide band will also see the eclipse, just not a total one. But those just a few miles outside that band will see a 90% eclipse, which is not too shabby.
That will be the case in Cheyenne, Wyoming, two hours south of Casper which is in the TPOT, and an hour or so southeast of Torrington, which is also in the path of totality. Cheyenne should reach 90% totality.
And Cheyenne is going to hold a block party to celebrate.

The Laramie County Library, located at 2200 Pioneer Ave in Cheyenne (just a few blocks north of the Historic Cheyenne Depot) is hosting a block party from 10 am to 2 pm.
