The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Evansville

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.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

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.
