>> harris: i can't just pick one. we are taking a look. it's happening. >> mexico. >> look at that. for the next few seconds, they are watching the beginning of the partial, then the whole thing will be covered d from thr vantage point. on the backside of that and 15 minutes or so of the partial before he goes away. here's excited? >> harris: watch what you can and keep it on fox. for now, "america reports." >> there's a lot of excitement like there's a buzz in the air. >> it seems awesome. it is awesome. >> it was about 7.5 hours drive. >> we rented it. i booked it in may of last year.

>> a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. >> i am looking to get interesting shots during that totality. >> we are very nervous about that. >> first i clips all at the same time. >> john: the countdown is on. we are minutes away from one of the most anticipated astronomical events in u.s. history. millions of americans will be savoring that once-in-a-lifetime moment when a solar eclipse sweeps across the u.s. sending some regions into complete darkness for some 4.5 minutes. i'm john roberts. great to be with you today. >> i am aishah hasnie. so glad to be doing this with you. with the well at home, we are joining your life from the rooftop of our d.c. bureau. very, very windy, john. wendy show. >> john: i am hoping to keep my time from going down. we have got the glasses. we have got pretty much crystal clear skies. in about an hour and 20 minutes,

we will be putting on eyeg eyeglasses. i see a little light over there. i can see the sun. that means that glasses are working. hope everyone at home as something >> aishah: it's going to be a really fun show. this is "america reports." nasa says the entire country all of you out there will see at least a partial l eclipse today. it is those 15 states right there in the path of totality that will experience daylight and darkness for a matter of minutes. it's going to be quite a sight. >> john: getting a good glimpse of the rare celestial event depends on the weather. cloudy skies forecast good but a damper on the view. it's going to get darker. >> aishah: along the path of totality among the next two hours. people all over the place for you. we are going to kick things off with senior correspondent live in dallas where things are already underway. what are you seeing out there? are people getting excited?

>> the excitement is an understatement. dallas is the largest metropolitan area. i'm sure you are aware of that will be in the path of totality. people have been flooding here since friday, last thursday. making a weekend out of it. today is the icing on the cake. estimated half a million people in fact have flocked to the big d converging on the city with viewing parties taking place all over. local officials in fact say that all eyes have been out of the sky because of the weather forecast. people have been saying that it is going to be cloudy. i've got some good news. we have the sun starting to kind of peek through these clouds a little bit. meteorologists have been saying that this has been possible with the clouds breaking up and burning off so that we will have a good view of this rare event. of course a lot of research is also being done as we experience

this total solar eclipse across north texas over at the fort worth zoo. experts say they are going to be documenting animal behavior to see just how busy it is and what those animals to. how the various species react for example in the darkness. lots of stuff going on from the scientific side to the fun side. we are posted up here in public park right on the outskirts of downtown dallas. the earlier shots you could barely see the skyline because of the cloud cover. as it burns often when starting to emerge. school buses of kids are going to be arriving soon for a field trip because schools for the most part are in session. they are closed in other parts of the country experiencing totality. most of the schools here are open. if they are not taking field trips to viewing parties like this they are certainly going to be heading outside and taking a look at a very special science lesson up close and personal.

back to you. >> aishah: thank you so much. stay tuned. >> john: all right. now for dallas to our southern border where we are minutes away until they eclipse crosses over into the united states from mexico. two of the places where it will be seen first in its totality. places that are very familiar to you because of our coverage of immigration and the situation of the border. del rio, texas, and eagle pass where bill melugin is live in eagle pass. you're getting at the very first look at the zone of totality before anybody else. >> john, we hope we are going to get the first look. the weather doesn't ok like it's going to cooperate so far. it's forecasted to be over because the rest of the day. we are starting to feel a little bit of light drizzle. eagle pass is going to be the first spot in all of the united states where totality is supposed to happen for that supposed to happen around 2:27:00 p.m. eastern time.

one hour 20 minutes from now. we will give you a live look at the scene from our fox news drone. we are in the infamous shelby park. it has been completely locked down by the state of texas. there's no members of the general public down here coming out here to see this eclipse. they cannot get into this park. across the river, we see what looks like a little bit of a party getting set up by folks on the mexican side. you might be able to hear some of the thumping music from my microphone right now. people are starting to post up chairs and towels on the edge of the river looking this way am i getting ready to watch this eclipse. you can see this guys in the background where the weather right now does not look like it is going to be cooperating with us. it's heavy overcast. it is not look like it's going to be burning off anytime soon. even if we don't get to see the totality of attic that's going -- it's going to get dark and the temperatures will likely drop. we are in the wait-and-see mode out here. we are going to hope that these

clouds end up pulling off a little bit once the totality zone arrives. we've got our glasses here just in case it does. in the meantime, we will be here. first spot in the u.s. we are hoping we get to see something. >> john: bill melugin for us. up on your screen right now what you are seeing are pictures live from mexico right there on the west coast of mexico where the moon has started to cross in front of the sun where they are going to be the very first people in north america who will get a look at the totality of this eclipse. the zone of totality is can i go right over the top and make its way to texas. >> aishah: i forgot my moonstone. moonstone for the energy of the eclipse. i'm so into evidence. apparently you are able to use the energy of the eclipse to gain some positivity in your life. all that mumbo-jumbo stuff. >> john: i love the fact that we are monitoring this. when it gets dark in the middle

of the day, the animals go into some weird behaviors. bill hemmer was talking about that a little while ago. one of the animals go to sleep and some wake up. apparently that turtle started meeting. >> aishah: they might feel like the world is ending. >> john: phenomenal event getting underway. a huge swath of the united states is in for over the next three hours. >> aishah: there's a lot of anxiety. anticipation as well and excitement. we are minutes away from the start of all of this. at least in taxes. it's going to work its way up across the u.s. storms and clouds threatening to ruin the fun for millions of people. possibly meteorologists as the forecast for us. adam, you've got some bad news for people especially people who traveled. one of my friends, her boyfriend went all the way up to the upstate part of new york and apparently it is super cloudy. >> i have some bad news but also have good news. it's not all bad news across the

country. you'll be happy to know that my moonstone is out on my windowsill. i'm also going to get on that energy. this is what we're talking about. talk about the bad news. across portions of south texas. that cloud cover is really dance. a slider further to the north. it continues to get lighter. you see a better chance of seeing totality at least as he ran through north texas arkansas. and you run into the midwest and the forecast is absolutely gorgeous. completely clear skies were now across southern illinois into indiana where the forecast is looking quite nice. totality in indianapolis happens right after 3:00. it will last for 4 minutes. the process takes several hours of that time you begin to see that partial eclipse until you get closer to the total eclipse but -- you did allude to this s well. there's some other cloudy spots. you get up along lake erie and

lake ontario and portions of upstate new york. there is some very dense cloud cover as we currently speak. it does cut off very quickly. you get into areas of upstate interior new england. vermont, new hampshire, maine. suddenly, it is completely sunny once again and you're looking at really clear skies and totality will once again looking really good. new york city is going to be more on the border line as far as if you see sun sign or a little bit of ground cover. we are not going to be 100%. that is 89% total coverage of the sun with the moon. still a fantastic show. i do want to jump right back down to texas really quick. i showed you the path. we are also looking at a risk for severe storms release will not happen until totality ultimately moves on through these areas. a ton of people are floating through this region. there is a decent risk of seeing some real severe weather as you get into the evening and the overnight hours. if you are watching this location and traveling, know

that storms could be big and bad isolated tornadoes. hale is going to be a bit concerned that will be coming later in the evening. everything here in the red which is a big swath of totality everything you are looking at there in that maroon color, that is at 3 on a scale of 5. obviously there are big chunks of the country where viewing is looking really nice. >> aishah: if you can watch it, tune into fox and want to get along with us. we will bring you all love using cameras across the country. stick around and we will come back to you soon. >> john: even if you can't see the sun, it is going to get dark for a little while. you will feel all of those vibes from the eclipse. there are places on the ground where you can get the vibes from an expense and places that are out of this world where you can view and eclipse. at spring and former nasa astronaut and international space station commander.

he witnessed the 2017 eclipse from the iss. leroy, what was that like? >> actually it was 2005. i noticed that there was a dark spot on the clouds. i shot without beer they became the first astronaut video of an eclipse. it was pretty cool actually seeing it from that vantage point. probably a little bit more dramatic on the ground especially if you are in the path of totality where we will get pretty dark for a few minutes. it was cool seeing it from space for sure. >> aishah: i know that you have said before that it is so special to watch it from here on earth. so much more special than watching it from up above. give us your perspective as well know that very few people on this planet that have been up there in space loading and watching us all down here, this is such an awe-inspiring moment for so many people whether you're religious or not and if you are a big science person.

this is such a rare and incredibly advanced to think that the moon is just the right size, just the right distance away from planet earth and also just the right distance away from the sun for this to be so perfect at all of us get to bear witness to this year on this world. what is that like from your perspective of being up in space and just see how little we are in this expansive universe? given your perspective on this entire moment right now. >> in really is awesome to be up in space. you look at our beautiful earth, although bright colors, very vibrant and alive in it. you look at the moon very beautiful in its own way. it shades of gray and darkness and lightness and very much a cold dead planet or planetoid if you will. it is also like you said that the moon being the right distance away on the right size almost completely blocks the sun

and the path of totality. it is really inspiring to think about just how things can affect together. expenses themselves are not particularly special. they happen all that time. they usually happen over the ocean or over cloud cover that you don't see. it is relatively rare every 70 years or couple of decades that we get one that comes er populated centers like the u.s. and north america. for that reason, this one is very special in the next one will not be coming around for 20 years were able to cross over the united states. it really is great that it inspires young people to get excited about science, astronomy, space exploration. that is a big benefit next to the great experience of seeing it. >> john: we have been talking about distances. bill hemmer was reminding us that the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun but 400 times closer to earth and the

sun is. that is where that is not perfection is. the moon completely cover the sun. closer to the earth and it was in 2017. the area of totality is wider. the facts will be felt more profoundly. talk about the effects that people will hear on the ground as the moon as we see it in mexico starts to down the skies and things start to change. >> of course it's going to get dark and it will be dark for a few minutes. it will feel cooler on a hot sunny day if you step into that shade, it feels cooler. it will feel a little bit cooler for a few minutes. it will be a dramatic event. this is not something that you see every day. i remember when i was third or fourth grade. and i clips and things -- we weren't in the path of totality. not too far away. it was neat to see.

definitely makes an impression if you will. >> aishah: super-duper astronaut. thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your time and expertise and perspective. so fun to enjoy it with someone else who lovoves space and sciee in this moment that is so surreal right now. >> john: we see in mexico, a quarter of the sun has now been consumed by the shadow of them. keep going until the sun is completely gone and you get that flare of the corona. >> aishah: the cookie monster has taken a bite out of the cookie. back in 2017, we had a solar eclipse. i was working in indiana which oftentimes is the path right now. i think they have really good visibility right now. that is me from august 21st back in 2017. i look like a chipmunk, a really

little child. i was so excited there with my meteorologist back in the day. i was trying to live stream the entire thing. it is such a spectacular event. it wasn't a total eclipse for us. it was not personal. very cool. i was able to put those glasses over your phone. you're not supposed to look at this with your phone. please don't do that. you can put your glasses over it and look up. i was live streaming that. everybody else could see it. >> john: i remember my first eclipse. there wasn't video or smartphones back then. it was july 20th 1963. toronto, canada. i remember, we didn't have glasses back then. plastic had not been invented at that time. my brother and i were at the front yard. he said he glanced up at it and glanced back down. that is how we didn't burn our retina at that time. i just remember seeing there was full sun and a little less and

it was completely gone. >> aishah: let's ask the doctor about it. somehow, we saw the eclipse before these classes. we were doing it. mankind has been watching it. >> john: people were also thought that cigarettes were good for them. >> aishah: if you're planning to view this once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse, it's really important to protect your eyes. we will talk to a doctor from the cleveland clinic. everything you need to consider and how you can tell if you've got some high damage if you happen to have looked up. but don't if you can. we will be right back. when dehydration gets real...

>> john: continuing coverage this afternoon of eclipse day across america as it moves northeast across the lower 48 this afternoon. a clips mania building in indianapolis. one of several major cities. it will be in the zone of totality as they call it. where we find our jonathan hunt. i'm excited are they to see today's eclipse? >> i think i am probably the most excited current resident of indianapolis. i am joined by around 50,000 or so of my closest friends here at the indianapolis motor speedway. what a spectacular venue to witness what will be an extraordinary event. as you can probably make out, the skies at the moment are completely clear. i feel sorry for my dear friend down in dallas who may have the eclipse obscured by clouds.

right now here in indianapolis, it is looking like a perfect day to be in the path of totality. this crowd really really excited to witness this. it will be just about 3 3:06:00 p.m. that we go into the total eclipse here in indianapolis. we are expecting it to last just about 3:49. it will be according to those who have experienced a total eclipse a physical reaction. i think for a lot of people, a spiritual one. when you see all the people who have come here for an event like this and you see all the people watching just not across the united states but all around the world know what we have so much dividing us right now. not just here but globally. to have this one event unifying so many people is an extraordinary thing in itself. i like everybody here, that tens

of thousands who are here at indianapolis motor speedway are thrilled to be here. we cannot wait to see the sun which is right above me right now disappear behind the moon. >> john: not too long from now as we are looking on the left-hand side of our screen. the moon and started to obscure the sun. it is headed your way. thank you, jonathan. we will get back to you. >> aishah: that is a really fun venue. so whether you are in the path of totality are not are you are viewing the eclipse parti partially, -- whether you are in the path of totality or you are viewing the eclipse partially, it is really, really, really important to protect your eyes. nasa recommends using certified eclipse glasses to prevent severe injury. let's bring in dr. nicole. ophthalmologists at cleveland clinic. we are going to talk about america's total eclipse. my sister works at the cleveland

clinic in a very fine institution indeed. i want to ask you, john was talking about earlier how when we were kids, we didn't have these really cool special glasses. john would look up really fast and see it and looked down and looked up. people are going to try to do this today. how quickly can you damage your eyes if you try that method? >> we generally recommend that you only do direct viewing of the eclipse with the eclipse safety glasses with iso one, two, three- -- 2 filter. it is only during the complete totality when the moon is completely covering the sun that yocan load. not everyone is in totality. you need to make sure you are in path of totality. >> john: what kind of damage can be done to your retina? my understanding is that there are no pain receptors. we watched the moon covering half the sun. there are no pain receptors in your written up or you don't actually know that you are being

injured. >> correct. this damage is painless. you might not even notice it right away. he can take time for it to set in. that is why we are so passionate about making sure you prevent it. additionally, we don't have good treatments for its either. it's more of a wait-and-see if it resolved that for some people, it doesn't resolve. it's permanent. >> is there a sign or a way to tell very quickly that you have damaged it? and is there another way to view this for i imagine there's a lot of folks out there that could not get their hands on these glasses. they are so hard to find. is there another way to view them? can you view it through a telescope or camera? how can people watch this? >> great questions. you can use a pinhole projector. it could be really fun do-it-yourself activity at home. that is what we recommend. if you can't get your hands on

the eclipse glasses. a lot of local libraries have been giving it for free. check out your resources near you. >> how will somebody know if they've got damage to their retina? how should they go seek some help? >> we recommend everyone come in as soon as they notice that there is an issue. some people may notice very quickly after the incident. some people, it can take time. just come in to see us if you're having any issues. we are always happy to help. >> aishah: i don't know where you where the last eclipse, 2017. did you feel that you got an uptick in patients coming in afterwards saying, i made a mistake. i looked up and looked too long. >> yes. i was actually in residency. i was in my surgical training for ophthalmology in chicago. there was a lot of excitement. we did unfortunately see a few cases. there are also people who came and nervous that they had damage

their eyes but they were actually fortunately okay. no matter what comes our way this week, we are ready for you. >> john: a big question a lot of people is, how long you have to look at the sun with clear skies in order to get damage to your retina? >> it can happen in as little as a few seconds. as soon as you see the sun is peeking behind the moon, immediately look away. >> john: there is a moment during the zone of totality that you can actually look at it without glasses on, correct? >> the american academy of ophthalmology does say that you can briefly look during totality. that is when there is no direct sun. you are just seeing the moon completely block the sun. you can see the corona. that is the only period. not all of us will be in the path of totality. it's important to check to make sure if you can experience that or not. >> aishah: really important if

you have kids or around a lot of kids right now just to make sure they are also following rules. i definitely remember being a kid. in grade school, getting to watch is a lot of fun. you've got to keep an eye on those kids. >> john: for me, it was a lot longer. >> aishah: thank you so much for joining it. >> john: she makes a very good point. we were talking about the zone of totality that runs from eagle pass, texas, all the way up into maine. outside of that, the sun is not going to go away at all. in washington, d.c., it will be covered by 85%. the sun will always be glaring past the moon. you have to be very careful at that moment. if you're not completely in the zone of totality. >> aishah: she mentioned that a pinhole method. what she was talking about is a shoe box. if you have a shoe box at home can youtube it. there's a way to make your own glasses. you are looking away. you do get to see it. there is a way.

viewing party is set to start and have an hour after they mentioned the 2017 partial eclipse. this one is supposed to be even more spectacular. >> john: looking forward to that. the latest update for us. i will be interested to see if the frogs and my neighbor's garden fountain go up in about 3:00 this afternoon as they do every night. >> aishah: the advice we are giving right now is basic common sense, people. fox weather is also hosting this big eclipse watch party in fox square in new york city where we find meteorologist nick kosir. i have been looking around with my glasses. i don't see any aliens yet. we are on the right path. what are you seeing out there? >> there is a lot of excitement about the eclipse here in new york city. it's just going to be a partial eclipse here in the big apple. people are trying to find the best vantage point.

>> you don't want that one. thank you, guys, enjoy. all right, listen. maximum coverage here in new york is going to be about 3:25. that is when we anticipate everything to get the most dark here in new york. it will be 90% coverage. it will be very interesting. back in 2017, i went through an 85% coverage eclipse and chlotte. things got dark. i got a little eerie and weird. we are looking forward to that end we will see what kind of pictures and videos we can get. >> aishah: did you create and i eclipse a dance? >> i did. i'm calling this one -- i don't know if you have ever heard of the sprinkler. this is the eclipse watcher. >> aishah: okay, go for it. oh, yes, keep doing that. the entire time, keep doing that. you are the best.

that is when the shadow of the moon will be going this lowest in the united states and the path of totality will be the widest. going 1500 miles per hour. per the path of totality will be 12f darkness will be about 4.5 minutes. it speeds up the further northeast it goes. where it eventually leads the coast of maine it will be going 3,000 miles an hour. a zone of totality will be smaller. 105 or 110 miles. the duration of darkness will only be in the 3.5 minute range. >> aishah: i've learned a lot about the solar eclipse today. i've been googling a lot. my favorite thing is all the really cool things that scientists are going to learn about this. what happens during the solar eclipse, list our systems that are behind or near the sun we don't normally see. we are actually going to finally get to see some of those star systems. that gives them time even though

it's a couple of minutes to take a look at them. apparently this total eclipse in 1919 actually helps scientists prove nine times theory of general relativity. they could finally see the stars and measure where they were in relation to the sun. that was just a hundred years ago. >> john: another thing you get to look at is the corona of the sun. typically the sun is so bright you don't see the area of hot plasma gas that surrounds it. in a moment of totality when the moon completely blocks the sun, you can see that corona around the sun. make sure that you look at it with your glasses. >> aishah: this elder eclipse making its way across the country. we are looking at the spiritual meaning behind this phenomenon. a lot of folks out there this is very important to them. it's a big sign for them. that story next. you know that thing your family does?

>> okay, let's bring in jonathan hunt as we follow this eclipse as it works its way from mexico all the way across the country up to the northeast, jonathan is following the

eclipse movement from indianapolis where i used to live and work for so many years. what a great town. jonathan, lucky you. you are surrounded by all those hoosiers behind you. how was i looking out there? >> spectacular place to be. it is amazing to be here at indianapolis motor speedway. we've got our drone up right now. take a look at the crowd that has gathered here. they told us probably in the region of 50,000 people would be joining us here at the motor speedway. it appears that we are probably heading very close to that. they are still streaming and by the thousands from outside. obviously, everybody delighted at the prospect of enjoying this eclipse as a communal event. it is a cosmic coincidence as nasa puts it. the moon moving across the face of the sun giving us in indiana on the path of totality right across the united states

complete darkness. it is something that will unite everybody i think, physically, spiritually. it is a spectacular moment that we are going to witness here. all of these people wanted to come here to be together and feel the sense of community and of the sense of wonder of what will be an extraordinary show by the moon, the sun, and the earth. it's going to be really spectacular. we are super excited for it to be going on here. there's a whole lot of science related to it all. i don't understand any of that, frankly. when i heard -- i thought we were going to get free beer here at the indianapolis motor speedway. there is serious science as well. nasa has got people out here in force to explain all that stuff. and my thousands of fans are excited for that moment. 3:06:00 p.m. we are told is when we will get the total eclipse at

the indianapolis motor speedway and we will be fully dark for about 3 minutes and 49 seconds. i cannot wait. >> aishah: i'm going to text my friend, the president of ims and make sure he delivers a corona to you right now. >> better a corona beer. >> and will be much appreciated. >> john: jonathan, things are used to going fast there at indianapolis. by the time the eclipse and the shadow get there, it will be going more than 2,000 miles per hour. the folks will get the same show as people will in texas. and still going to be quite a show. it should go almost pitch black there. >> john: we've got perfect weather conditions right now. a couple of wispy clouds up in the sky right now. i think they are going to have a fair bit of cloud and lots of parts of texas. i hate to rain on the parade. this is the place to be

obviously. we are going to have the photocell right here at the indianapolis motor speedway. we have already had some of the cars going past year. indy 500 coming up in just abous correct which it usually isn't. there's been a lot of speed on display here. this is a spectacular venue. ims has done a great job of putting this show on. mother nature is about to do an even better one. >> aishah: they need to give you a beer and a ride in that beautiful corvette behind you. and the eclipse is happening. i don't think you get every top that ever again. >> that is for sure. i will be getting in one of those as soon as i can. >> john: we will get back to you. i took a quick look at the sun behind us. we used an app. >> you guys at home, there are so many wonderful apps out there. it is called skyview light.

it is not an astrology -- you see the constellations. you can actually hold it up to see where the other planets are. this is a good time to watch the other planets. jupiter is right there. >> john: on the moon is close to the sun. we will be back on the othering side. dive deeper into prayer. listen, it doesn't matter if you've never prayed before or if you're praying every day. god wants you to grow a little closer to him. to give you a little more of his peace. he■s here with you now. let him in. join me and millions of others on the number one prayer app in the world. hallow. let's grow a little closer to jesus together. try hallow for free today.
