Get Ready To Witness The Celestial Phenomenon, Solar Eclipse Maps Show The Path Of Totality
Mark your calendars as a total solar eclipse will streak across North America on April 8, 2024. NASA has released crucial solar eclipse maps that show the path of totality – the area where the moon will completely block out the sun. These maps give details about locations and timings to witness the breathtaking spectacle.
The path of totality includes parts of 15 US states stretching from Texas to Maine. Several major cities like San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Little Rock, Indianapolis and Dayton fall along the path. The eclipse will first touch Mexico’s Pacific Coast around 11:07 am PDT before moving across Texas. According to NASA maps, the total eclipse phase will reach cities like Austin around 1:27 pm CDT.

You can enter your zip code on NASA’s interactive solar eclipse maps to get customized timings for your location. The maps also reveal how much of the eclipse will be visible outside the path of totality. With over 150 million people located within 200 miles of the path, a partial eclipse will be seen by many. So mark your datebooks and check the maps to make plans for this astronomical marvel.
Ideal conditions on April 8 will allow people situated along the narrow path to witness the sun transforming into a spectacular ring of fire for around 3-4 minutes.
