Eclipse Across America [2024]

The April 8 eclipse spans from Texas to Maine. Depending on your location along the path depicted on the map below, you might experience daylight transitioning into dusk for a duration of four minutes and 28 seconds.

The total solar eclipse started over the Pacific Ocean, and the first location in continental North America that experienced totality was Mexico's Pacific Coast, around 11:07 a.m. PDT, according to NASA. From there, the path continued into Texas, crossing more than a dozen states before the eclipse enters Canada in southern Ontario. The eclipse exited continental North America at around 5:16 p.m. NDT from Newfoundland, Canada.

The path of totality included portions of the following states:

Texas

Oklahoma

Arkansas

Missouri

Illinois

Kentucky

Indiana

Ohio

Pennsylvania

New York

Vermont

New Hampshire

Maine

Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan also experienced the total solar eclipse.
