NASA shared times for several cities in the path of totality across the U.S. You can also check your ZIP code on NASA’s map to see when the eclipse will reach you if you’re on, or near, the path of totality — or if you’ll see a partial eclipse instead.
How much of the eclipse will you see if you live outside of the totality path?
While the April 8 eclipse will cover a wide swath of the U.S., outside the path of totality observers may spot a partial eclipse, where the moon covers some, but not all, of the sun, according to NASA. The closer you are to the path of totality, the larger the portion of the sun that will be hidden.
Could there be cloud cover be during the solar eclipse?
Some areas along the path of totality have a higher likelihood of cloud cover that could interfere with viewing the eclipse. Here is a map showing the historical trends in cloud cover this time of year.
