April 8, 2024
A total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. Weather permitting, people along the path of totality will see the Sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, which is usually obscured by the bright face of the Sun.
This will be the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044.

- Totality Begins - 1:40 p.m. CDT
- Totality Ends - 1:44 p.m. CDT
- Partial Eclipse Ends - 3:02 p.m. CDT
