The path of totality

A total solar eclipse (where the moon blocks the sun in its entirety) will only be visible along this path—but almost every state will get at least a partial view.
A map of the United States of America that depicts the eclipse’s path of totality and lists the following cities within it: Dallas, TX, Idabel, OK, Little Rock, AR, Poplar Bluff, MO, Paducah, KY, Carbondale, IL, Evansville, IN, Cleveland, OH, Erie, PA, Buffalo, NY, Burlington, VT, Lancaster, NH, and Caribou, ME
Fun facts! The halo of the sun’s uppermost atmosphere that’s visible during a total solar eclipse is called the corona. The entire eclipse will take about two and a half hours, but totality only lasts about four minutes at locations along its path. Don’t be alarmed if you start to hear crickets chirping—some animals mistake the eclipse’s effects for dusk.
