This visualization closely follows the Moonβs umbra shadow as it crosses North America during the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse. It covers the one hour and 50 minutes between 10:57 a.m. Pacific Standard Time and 4:47 p.m. Atlantic Daylight Time. Annotations include a running clock and the location of the center of the shadow. Everyone within the dark oval sees totality. Within the United States, the path touches 15 states: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, the extreme northwest corner of Tennessee, Illinois, far western Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, the extreme southeast corner of Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Spent eight hours in the car today to visit Bloomington, Indiana to see complete totality and then back to Somerset, Kentucky. I missed the 2017 eclipse and certainly wasn't going to miss this one. The weather was perfect, certainly worth the drive!
Religious people be like "Isn't it amazing how we can now predict how God is going to punish us. "
Religion can't hold a candle to what I witnessed today. I am looking to travel to see the next one.
South of San Antonio tx,
it was so cloudy we bearly got to catch a small glimph of it, look like a bright smile in the sky when it broke through the clouds for a few brief moments
Yeah the solar eclipse landed on my birthday, guessing I am star child
I was in Russleville Arkansas, and i LOVED IT!!! Me and my family saw the eclipse for 4 minutes, and after the eclipse we went to Mount Nebo!!! Truly a memory i will NOT be forgeting!!!
99.7% here.
We got blue balled here in Michigan
Freakies of eclpsesπ
Husband and I had ONE day off work. We worked 12 hours Sunday, went to bed at 10pm. Left the Appleton WI area at 4:30 AM central daylight time. Drove and drove and drove down through Milwaukee and the horrible Chicago toll roads/construction/traffic jams. Drove and drove some more in heavy traffic down I-65 and its wondrous "Left Lane ends in a mile" repeating theme. So fun to have the traffic down to a crawl a dozen times in 140 miles. /sarc. So, 370 miles of stressful driving, courtesy of husband (former truck driver).
Finally got there, about an hour before the partial phase was to begin. Great weather. We parked in a Costco lot well away from the building; quite a few other people had the same idea but no crowding.
Now, I had been after a total solar eclipse for my bucket list since I was a kid 50 years ago. Finally had a chance and it was an awesome experience. The appearance of totality was better than any photo or video I'd ever seen; it had almost a 3D appearance. 3 minutes and 38 seconds or so passed so fast.
Then we got to fight far worse traffic leaving the area (we should have gone west not northwest, since the entire city of Chicago seemed to have shown up in Indianapolis for the show. We finally went out of our way to avoid Chi town and Milwaukee entirely, adding 60 miles and many wasted hours in standstill/stop-and-go traffic. Extremely stressful and exhausting, plus we are scheduled to work 12 hours again in less than 17 hours. We just got home half an hour ago as of this writing (2:00 AM CDT).
It was worth it but knowing what I know now, I'd have made different arrangements for getting there and back!
πππππππππ BRILLIANCE β¨οΈ. Thank God!
Make sure you wear your eclipse glasses or mine won't be as effective … I hope people get this?
Whatever passed in front of the sun was traveling in the opposite direction of the moons path, how am I the only one to notice that?
Bell county tx here and I saw greed greed and more greed. Then I saw the totality of Gods humor and irritation. Businesses jacking up prices and spending money in hopes of many many customers….. people renting out driveways. Money money and God saw this and said naw not this go around. Blaaahaha cloudy ALL MORNING while i mowed grass until it was time. Then beautifully perfect. ππ.
God thsnk you for allowing me to cash in on your beauty and humor.
Edit: forgot the best part. People actually lost moneyπ π
The Beginning of Calamities
Matt. 24:3-14
3
As He (Jesus Christ) was sitting on the Mount of Olives,* the disciples approached him privately and said, βTell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?β
4
Jesus said to them in reply, βSee that no one deceives you.
5
For many will come in my name, saying, βI am the Messiah,β and they will deceive many.
6
You will hear of wars* and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place.
8
All these are the beginning of the labor pains.
9
Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name.
10
And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another.
11
Many false prophets will arise and deceive many;
12
and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold.
13
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come." The Word of God
Why isnβt anyone saying anything about this sun pathway going from west to east? Umm π€ the sun sets in the West people! π
No, letβs be serious we know we take whatever they tell us is the truth, since when has the moon ever move that fast in the sky first off
Wow around 2:30PM I finally looked up in the sky with my glasses and the moon was already peaking into the sun. How exciting it was. About 2:45 I noticed how everything began to look like it was evening. At 3:00 things began to noticeably get darker. Just minutes before I couldnβt believe how quickly the light was vanishing and before I knew it, it was totaled!! Itβs like someone had switched the light off with a flick of their finger and turned it back on! (I live between Toledo and Sandusky, OH)
I'm so glad I took a day off from work and drove 122 miles to be in the center of the event path.
Sunrise and moonrise start from East to West.
Why the total eclipse path starts from West to East?
Paths of the sun, moon and stars have not changed since God's creation
We went on break early (1:45pm)at Amazon in Little Rock to see it
Nice visualization! Thx
why other countries not experienced solar eclipse if the earth is round
If the orbit of the moon is off kilter to explain the eclipse, then how do the lunar phases always remain the same .
Hello team members dzaire, disorder,mokash, tushan ()ΰ€ ΰ€¨ΰ₯ΰ€Άΰ€¨ space π
I live in the path of totality. I stepped out from work for about 10 minutes and it was awe-inspiring. The northeast corner of New York State near Lake Champlain.
I drove all the way to middle of nowhere Phillips, Maine to watch the eclipse and it lasted 4 minutes
NOT THE MOON ! Our Moon orbits east to west NOT south west to north east! NOT THE MOON !
This is what I sent friends and readers today.Everyone is talking about today's eclipse. We were cautioned not to stare directly at it without special glasses. My mind went back to Thales of Miletus who in 585 BC predicted an eclipse. Now while that was quite something there is on record an even greater prediction in the Old Testament. In Amos 8:9 the prophet predicted the darkness that covered the earth when Christ hung on the cross. It reads, "And in that day declares the Lord God I will make the sun go down at noon and will darken the earth in the daytime." Now read ' 'At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three oβclock." [Mark 15:33] That eclipses today's eclipse doesn't it? And look, leading secular historians around at that time admitted to what happened when Jesus died and the sun, as it were, left the sky.
Saw it in St. Albans, Vermont and it was the greatest thing I have seen in my life, glad I can already count this as something I wanted to see in my life at 16
I saw it at a central bird migration national park in Canada. Was a great view with a great sound of animal behavior. Hands down one of the coolest things I witnessed in my life.
It was amazing in Durango Mexico π²π½, impresionante!!! Saludos para todos π²π½πΊπΈπ¨π¦..
How lame to only animate the North America part and call it the "entire" path of totality.
