The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024

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.

This blog post will tell you about the 2024 eclipse as seen from the Utica-Rome area in New York. Please check out all the links we’ve provided below to learn more about the 2024 total solar eclipse from other locations.

The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Utica-Rome

The Utica-Rome area is truly a tale of two cities on eclipse day. Rome lies right on the southern limit of the path, and so it's extremely important for you to know where to be on eclipse day, if you want to see the amazing sight of totality!

In Utica, you’re outside the path. NO part of town will see totality, but you’re tantalizingly close! You’ll need to make sure and head at least as far north as Rome in order to be in the path. But even farther would be better!

Where can I see the total eclipse?

In Utica or Rome, you need to consider heading north to get farther into the path.

The airport in Rome is outside the path. Fort Stanwix Monument is also outside the path. Delta Lake State Park will see 1m20s of totality, and that area may be a great place for a lot of people to congregate on eclipse day. If you want even more totality, you’ll have to head farther north to Boonville, Camden, or even farther. The centerline is at Watertown, and folks there will see over three and a half minutes!

Once again, in order to see totality, you have to be in the north or northwest parts of town. See the map above for details on where the line is.

Please see our blog posts about the 2024 eclipse in Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Watertown, and Plattsburgh, to get more information on eclipse viewing opportunities in these locations.

What will I see on eclipse day?

In Rome itself, it’s very difficult to describe exactly what you’ll see on eclipse day, because each part of town will see something different. Most of town is not in the path. It’s true that from locations not in the path there will be sky darkening, some possibly interesting edge effects, and maybe even a bit of corona.

However, if the Sun is not COMPLETELY eclipsed you MUST always use ISO-certified eye protection ("eclipse glasses") to watch the eclipse. That means that, even if these things are going on around you, if you’re not in the path you won’t be able to see most of them. It will be best for you to get as far north and west as possible, to make sure you’re in the path and will be able to see totality.

When will the eclipse happen?

Eclipse day is April 8, 2024!

Whatever the eclipse brings to Rome itself, it will be most interesting as the shadow passes by – to the north and west of town, remember.

This will happen at about 3:24pm EDT.

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 Utica-Rome area.

Again, it’ll be best if you try to get at least as far north as possible, to make sure you have a great view of the eclipse.

Use ISO-certified eye protection during the partial phases

ISO Certification 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. It would be so much better for you to get into the path, and really enjoy seeing totality!
