It's going to be the only one for another 28 years. That's pretty cool, we get to see it.

The partial eclipse starts in Casablanca about 18 minutes before sunset (18:49 UTC), and will reach about 13% coverage by sunset (19:07 UTC), so you'll get a partial view. Unfortunately, the maximum coverage of about 27% will occur after sunset.
The the only place where the total eclipse will be visible on land will be in a narrow path (about 100 km wide) that runs across the continental USA.
The best tool I've found to check where and when the eclipse will be visible is at this page (with a pointer to Casablanca) http://xjubier.free.fr/en/site_pages/solar_eclipses/TSE_2017_GoogleMapFull.html?Lat=33.56886&Lng=-7.....
Another site that's pretty good (useful to check the calculations) is on NASA's site at https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/interactive_map/index.html
Both sites use Google Maps with the eclipse path overlaid on them.

Unfortunately we also can't see this eclipse in Iran like many other countries. But we'll definitely follow livestreams about this. This is so unique phenomena. I really appreciate Google's attention to astronomy and science.

Sweet - can't wait to catch the stream! I'll be trying to get a glimpse myself so maybe I'll rewatch it after it airs. Oregon is the perfect place to see it and although I can't be there, I'm glad the LG team will be covering it from there.

Thank you, Anna! The photos are fantastic!

Thanks for the post. Actually I don't have any question about the solar eclipse. Being a physicist I also have a knowledge about this phenomena.
As you mentioned that the moon will completely eclipse the sun so it will be a wonderful experience for U.S. citizens' feeling the momentarily darkness.
It's a great opportunity to see sun and moon aligning in common visual angle. But you didn't mention whether it is annular eclipse or not.
Hope to see photos from there. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thank you so much for the information, and i have already set a reminder for the live stream. It would be 4 am here in India when the Livestream happens.
