April 8 Solar Eclipse: What Time can you View it in Totality?

With just three days left until a rare celestial phenomenon, unlikely to recur for the next two decades, anticipation mounts across North America. On April 8, an extraordinary event will unfold as the moon positions itself between the sun and Earth, casting a shadow that plunges regions into complete darkness.

Those fortunate enough to find themselves within the narrow path of totality, spanning 115 miles (185 kilometers) from Mexico to Canada and traversing 15 U.S. states, are poised to encounter a surreal four-minute spectacle of eerie darkness, as reported by Live Science.

While only specific areas will bask in the full splendor of totality, the entire nation will witness a partial eclipse from their respective locations. Commencing in Texas at 1:27 pm and concluding in Maine at 3:35 pm, the eclipse's journey across the United States promises a captivating display of celestial ballet.
