Where And When To See The Total Solar Eclipse In Every U.S. State
07.04.2024 - 16:15 / forbes.com
A total solar eclipse is coming to the U.S.—but not everyone is invited. On Monday, April 8, the moon will be close enough to Earth to appear just larger than the sun as it crosses its disk, casting a shadow that will move across the planet at about 1,500 mph.
About 90% of the U.S. population will see only a partial solar eclipse on April 8, with only those in a narrow, 115-mile-wide path of totality set to experience sudden darkness in the day for a few minutes—and the brief chance to gaze naked-eye at the sun’s corona.
It's an unmissable experience, but you need to get yourself to the path of totality to see it (and stay well clear of the worst places to watch on the edge of the path).
Here are the 13 U.S. states significantly touched by the path of totality—which includes a whopping 32 million people and multiple big cities—and the times to watch the eclipse, in order of how the moon's shadow will move from southwest to northeast across the nation:
