It will feature interviews and discussions about how solar eclipses work and [how animals react ](http://time.com/4882733/total-solar-eclipse-animals-react/)to the celestial phenomenon. Separately, TIME and LIFE VR will also produce a [360-degree VR livestream](http://time.com/4900288/total-solar-eclipse-virtual-reality/) of the solar eclipse on TIME’s Facebook and YouTube pages. For the first time in American history, the total solar eclipse will cross the U.S. [from coast to coast](http://time.com/4882923/total-solar-eclipse-map-places-view/), beginning in Oregon and ending in South Carolina.
