We've been talking about this for weeks, but the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 is slowly approaching. It should be glorious.
On the afternoon of April 8, most of us will be able to see the eclipse in some form, but the distance between your location and the path of totality will determine how much of the sun the moon will cover.
Many places in the United States will experience a total eclipse, where the sun will be completely blocked, and the sky will remain shrouded in darkness for a few minutes. Other locations will witness a partial eclipse (weather permitting).

The solar eclipse will begin on April 8, 2024, in northern Mexico before making its way to the United States, where it begins when the moon's shadow passes into Texas at 1:27 pm CST.
The eclipse will cut a direct path through Texas before heading northeast across the rest of the country, including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. This also includes a small section of southeastern Monroe County in Michigan.
When is the 2024 eclipse in Michigan?
A small piece of Monroe County, near Toledo, is expected to be in the path of totality. This means that the area is likely to become gloomy and temperatures will drop by a few degrees as the moon's shadow covers the sun.
This is the time when you can expect to view the eclipse from your city or region. (Can't you see the chart below? Click here.)
