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 Vincennes area in Indiana. 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 Vincennes

The Vincennes is an excellent place to see totality! It lies almost directly on the centerline, and so if weather permits, folks there will enjoy a beautiful view on eclipse day.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

You really can’t go wrong anywhere in the region, weather permitting. You'll get the most totality in the area by simply staying put!

If you have to escape weather, you can head up to Bloomfield or Bloomington, or west to Albion Ilinois. You’ll still be on the centerline in any of those cities. Read our blog posts about Indianapolis, Evansville and Effingham to learn more about viewing locations in those areas, and understand that Effingham is almost outside the path. Please check out the maps we’ve provided, and plan your eclipse viewing accordingly.



What will I see on eclipse day?

Because Vincennes is so well situated, if you leave town you’re only going to get less time in the shadow!

The downtown area will see just over four minutes of totality, so we’d recommend finding a good spot clear of clouds, and enjoy the show!

People in Vincennes may be playing host to lots of folks who are coming from all over to get into the path on eclipse day. That is something everyone should be prepared for, because in 2017 lots of smaller towns got lots of visitors. (Nice problem to have!)

Order eclipse glasses! 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.

Eclipse day is April 8, 2024!

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 Vincennes area.

Use ISO-certified eye protection during the partial phases

ISO Certification

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.

The Eclipse2024.org Eclipse Simulator 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.
