This Is Where You Can See the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Across the U.S.-Trip Advise

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross the United States from Texas to Maine. If you've never seen a total solar eclipse before, you're in for a treat. During this celestial phenomenon, the moon blocks out the sun's light over a narrow strip of the Earth, resulting in eerie daytime darkness for a few minutes. The event is so awe-inspiring that some people become eclipse chasers, circling the globe for each total solar eclipse. Are you ready to see the show yourself? Here's where you'll be able to see the 2024 total solar eclipse in the U.S.

Texas

The eclipse will enter Texas near Eagle Pass and exit at the border with Oklahoma and Arkansas. It will move over Fredericksburg, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth, and Dallas along the way. In Eagle Pass, totality will run from 1:27 p.m. CDT to 1:32 p.m. CDT. In Dallas, totality will run from 1:40 p.m. CDT to 1:44 p.m. CDT.

Oklahoma

The path of totality only crosses the southeastern corner of Oklahoma, most notably in the resort town of Broken Bow. Totality begins at 1:45 p.m. CDT and ends at 1:40 p.m. CDT.

Arkansas

In Arkansas, the eclipse travels from Texarkana, through Hot Springs and Little Rock, then leaves the state northeast of Jonesboro. Texarkana will enter totality at 1:46 p.m. CDT and exit it at 1:49 p.m. CDT. In Jonesboro, totality runs from 1:55 p.m. CDT to 1:58 p.m. CDT.

Missouri

As in Oklahoma, the eclipse only traverses the southeastern corner of Missouri, moving through Poplar Bluff and Cape Girardeau. At the former, totality runs from 1:56 p.m. CDT to 2 p.m. CDT, and at the latter, 1:58 p.m. CDT to 2:02 p.m. CDT.

Illinois

The southern tip of Illinois is located along the path of totality. In Carbondale, totality starts at 1:59 p.m. CDT and ends at 2:03 p.m. EDT.

Kentucky

Only a sliver of Kentucky makes it into the path of totality. One of the few cities in the path is Paducah, where totality runs from 2 p.m. CDT to 2:02 p.m. CDT. Totality is so short here because it's on the edge of the path — the closer you are to the center of the path, the longer totality will last.

Indiana

About half of Indiana will enter totality, beginning south near Evansville, then running up through  Vincennes, Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Muncie. In Evansville, totality begins at 2:02 p.m. CDT and ends at 2:05 p.m. CDT. In Muncie, the time zone changes; totality begins at 3:07 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:11 p.m. EDT.

Pennsylvania

Most of Pennsylvania falls outside the path of totality, but those in Erie and the surrounding area are among the lucky ones who can experience the total solar eclipse. There, totality starts at 3:16 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

New York

Slice New York state diagonally from bottom left to upper right — generally speaking, everywhere above the line will be within the path of totality. That includes the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Oswego, Syracuse, and Plattsburgh, as well as part of the Finger Lakes region, including the towns of Canandaigua, Geneva, and Seneca Falls. In Buffalo, totality begins at 3:18 p.m. EDT and runs through 3:22 p.m. EDT. In Plattsburgh, on the other side of the state, it begins at 3:25 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:29 p.m. EDT.

Vermont

Most of Vermont's popular destinations are within the path of totality, including Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier. Because those three cities are quite close together, there's not much variation in the totality timing: 3:26 p.m. EDT to 3:29 p.m. EDT in Burlington and Stowe and 3:27 p.m. EDT to 3:29 p.m. EDT in Montpelier.

New Hampshire

Much of New Hampshire's northern reaches, where totality will be seen, are sparsely populated. The town of Colebrook makes the cut: totality runs from 3:28 p.m. EDT through 3:31 p.m. EDT.

Maine

Northern Maine is also sparsely populated, but a fair chunk of the state is in the path of totality. In Millinocket, totality starts at 3:31 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:34 p.m. EDT. The towns of Presque Isle and Caribou, as well as their neighbors, will be among the last places in the U.S. to see totality. It begins at 3:32 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:34 p.m. EDT.
