You MUST use certified eye protection ("eclipse glasses")

Another total solar eclipse is coming to North America! This
time, totality will also pass over Mexico and Canada – giving people all over North America another chance to experience this great celestial event.
In order to see totality, you have to be in the path of totality. If you aren’t in that path, you’ll only see a partial eclipse. You can learn more about those details with our simple eclipse viewing instructions guide.

Evansville is very well-placed to see totality!
Though not as deep into the path as we’d like, the downtown area will still get a very respectable three minutes of totality!
The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the map above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through the Evansville area.
Because of Evansville’s location in the path, it’s very important to understand that the farther north and west you go, the more totality you’ll see. So for example, at the intersection of IN66 and I-69 on the east side, totality will last about 2m 48s. The airport will see 3m 13s of totality, as will the golf course at Mesker Park. That’s a huge difference, just based on your location within the city!
If you want to get to the centerline, then you’ll want to travel north on US41 to Vincennes, or northwest to Albion Illinois. In either of these places, you’ll get more than four minutes in the shadow!
Princeton is also well placed, as is Petersburg. In fact, you can go as far up I-69 as you’d like – even all the way to Bloomington! You won’t lose much at all in the way of totality, and mobility on eclipse day may be easier with the interstate.
Because of Evansville’s great location in the path, we'd recommend you find a safe spot to watch, and enjoy totality!
If you’re east of town, please note that
Owensboro and
Rockport are NOT in the path of totality!
Remember that even if you are in the path of totality, if the Sun is not COMPLETELY eclipsed you MUST always use ISO-certified eye protection to watch the eclipse. You MUST use your eclipse glasses to observe all the partial phases.
The big event happens just after 2:02pm CDT, and people in the downtown area will see about 3m of totality.
The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the map above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through the Evansville area.
Always remember the rule for using eye protection during an eclipse: If there’s ANY bright part of the Sun showing, then you have to use your eclipse glasses to watch the event.
That means if you can see anything at all of the Sun through the glasses, then the Sun is too bright and you have to leave the glasses on! If you can see absolutely NO piece of the Sun through the eclipse glasses, then it’s safe to take them off. But the second any bright part of the Sun becomes visible again, you have to put them back on – and this can be mere seconds after you took them off.
We also have an entire section of the site dedicated to providing much more detailed eclipse viewing instructions for you!
Wherever you decide to view from, be sure to plan your route carefully, and watch the weather to make sure you’ll have good skies on eclipse day.
You can also check out Eclipse2024.org’s eclipse simulator for any location you’d like to preview. The simulator will show you exactly what the eclipse will look like for any location you choose!
If you'd just like to preview the eclipse without using the simulator, we've made videos for the 2023 annular eclipse and the 2024 total eclipse as seen from over 2,200 locations! You can find them on our 2024 eclipse YouTube channel, but we've made it even easier for you - just visit our eclipse simulator video page to get started!
