In Eagle Pass, totality will run from 1:27 p.m. It will move over Fredericksburg, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth, and Dallas along the way. The eclipse will enter Texas near Eagle Pass and exit at the border with Oklahoma and Arkansas. Where to See the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Texas We've also shared the specific timing for destinations across the path of totality below. To determine exactly when the eclipse will happen in a specific destination, consult an eclipse map. Note that converting UTC into your local time zone won't necessarily sync up with the actual time of the eclipse in your location.
If we use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to explain the global duration of the total solar eclipse, here's the breakdown: Because the eclipse will move across the country - and will cross time zones - it'll occur at slightly different times depending on your location. The entire eclipse will last a few hours, but totality will last just a few minutes. The total solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024. But once totality is over, put those glasses back on immediately.ĬLAUS BECH/Getty Images When is the 2024 solar eclipse? Once you're in totality, you'll be able to look at the moon-obscured sun with the naked eye safely, per NASA. In order to safely view the eclipse, wear solar eclipse glasses, which will protect your eyes while allowing you to see the moon moving in front of the sun. Never look into the sun with the naked eye, as you could suffer permanent optical damage. Given that the path of totality is relatively narrow - just 115 miles wide - hotels, vacation rentals, and campsites in or near the path are likely to book up quickly. And it's likely that even more will travel for the eclipse in 2024. During the last total eclipse in the U.S., which occurred in 2017, more than 20 million Americans traveled to see the eclipse. If you plan on traveling to the path of totality, make sure you book your accommodations well in advance of the eclipse.
