SolQuest 2017
Consider joining other Kentucky Baptists in serving at SolQuest 2017, August 19-21 in Cerulean, Ky. The three-day festival is part of the festivities surrounding the total solar eclipse that is expected to take place on August 21, 2017, that will attract hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world to the area. NASA has identified a point between Princeton and Hopkinsville, Ky., as the area where the eclipse will be at its greatest for nearly three minutes. The SolQuest site is less than two miles from that point.
The festival is being coordinated by HR Ministries in Princeton, Ky., but they need plenty of volunteers to serve during the festival and to pray for the Lord to touch the hearts of those who attend SolQuest 2017.

Welcome to ''Eclipseville,'' Hopkinsville, Ky, USA
HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Hopkinsville, Ky. has embraced its moment in the dark. The western Kentucky town has branded itself “Eclipseville.
At 1:24 p.m. local time, that's 2:24 p.m. Eastern, the moon will move between the Earth and the sun creating a total eclipse that will last 2 minutes 40.1 seconds. That duration is as long as anywhere on planet Earth which is a detail inspiring a pilgrimage, unlike anything this area has ever seen.
If someone anywhere else in the world asked you what hometown USA looked like, Hopkinsville would be a good example to show them. Now Hoptown, as locals call it at Ferrell's hamburgers, is transforming into Eclipseville.
For nearly a century folks have bellied up to this iconic lunch counter. These days the hot topic of conversation is their town's upcoming celestial celebration.
I think everybody is excited about it, just a little leery about all of the traffic, but we'll get through it,’ said Hopkinsville resident Judy Pool.

Total Solar Eclipse LIVE 2017 - FULL VIDEO (Hopkinsville, Kentucky)
We drove up from Dallas to Hopkinsville, KY to view the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, August 21, 2017! We drove around Hopkinsville beforehand, the town was alive! There were lines of people queuing to get a offee from the only store open in town. We drove a few miles out to watch the eclipse from a Flying J in Oak Grove (18750 Herndon Oak Grove Rd, Oak Grove, KY 42262) so we could get ahead of the traffic. It was a weird experience to see almost total darkness in the middle of the day! A great experience! We came prepared and bought eclipse glasses on ebay beforehand, otherwise, you may burn out your retinas LOL.... The traffic afterwards was TERRIBLE! Almost 24 hour gridlock, luckily we were ahead of it, but stopped at the Dukes of Hazzard museum in Nashville and they all caught up with us again! It was bad all the way to Birmingham, AL. I hear Hopkinsville ran out of toilet paper that day LOL!

A solar eclipse occurs when an observer (on Earth) passes through the shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks (occults) the Sun. This can only happen when the Sun, Moon and Earth are nearly aligned on a straight line in three dimensions (syzygy) during a new moon when the Moon is close to the ecliptic plane. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured.
If the Moon were in a perfectly circular orbit, a little closer to the Earth, and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar eclipses every new moon. However, since the Moon's orbit is tilted at more than 5 degrees to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, its shadow usually misses Earth. A solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is close enough to the ecliptic plane during a new moon. Special conditions must occur for the two events to coincide because the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic at its orbital nodes twice every draconic month (27.212220 days) while a new moon occurs one every synodic month (29.530587981 days). Solar (and lunar) eclipses therefore happen only during eclipse seasons resulting in at least two, and up to five, solar eclipses each year; no more than two of which can be total eclipses.Total eclipses are rare because the timing of the new moon within the eclipse season needs to be more exact for an alignment between the observer (on Earth) and the centers of the Sun and Moon. In addition, the elliptical orbit of the Moon often takes it far enough away from Earth that its apparent size is not large enough to block the Sun entirely. Total solar eclipses are rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth's surface traced by the Moon's full shadow or umbra.
An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. However, in some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses were attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. A total solar eclipse can be frightening to people who are unaware of its astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear during the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes.
Since looking directly at the Sun can lead to permanent eye damage or blindness, special eye protection or indirect viewing techniques are used when viewing a solar eclipse. It is technically safe to view only the total phase of a total solar eclipse with the unaided eye and without protection; however, this is a dangerous practice, as most people are not trained to recognize the phases of an eclipse, which can span over two hours while the total phase can only last a maximum of 7.5 minutes for any one location. People referred to as eclipse chasers or umbraphiles will travel to remote locations to observe or witness predicted central solar eclipses.
Hopkinsville is a home rule-class city in and the county seat of Christian County, Kentucky, United States. The population at the 2010 census was 31,577.
