40 Songs For the Solar Eclipse [Playlist]
A once in a lifetime event is happening today, a total solar eclipse visible in North America. (Aug. 21, 2017.) Where we are in Colorado we’ll be able to see the eclipse in 94-97% totality. But many people are making the pilgrimage to see 100%. (So many so, thatCDOT is prepping for this to be the worst traffic event of the year.)
The entire eclipse should take about three hours, and we decided to put together a YouTube playlist of eclipse-themed songs for your solar eclipse viewing pleasure. (Or at least for something to listen to if your stuck in traffic today.)
