When to Expect Solar Eclipse Totality in Eagle Country

Sunday, April 7, 2024 at 11:03 AM

Duration will vary depending where you are.

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - A total solar eclipse will arc across southern Indiana on Monday afternoon.

It will be the first since 2017 and the last until August 2044.

During a total solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun’s bright face — the photosphere — briefly revealing our star’s outer atmosphere: the shimmering corona, or “crown.”

The zone of totality, in which it will become almost completely dark, runs through most of Dearborn and Ripley counties, and all of Franklin County.

Below is a list of local cities and towns in the path of totality. Included is when the partial phase and totality begins, and duration of totality.
