The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse began at 1:50PM in Indianapolis. Totality began at 3:06PM and ended at 3:10PM. The eclipse ended completely at 4:23PM. I took this picture at 2:41PM, 25 minutes before totality.

The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse was incredible and mesmerizing to see. Viewed from Indianapolis, I took this picture during totality, which lasted 3 minutes and 46 seconds. The temperature dropped a few degrees about 25 minutes before totality. Despite the sky being bright and sunny, the intensity of the sun dimmed noticeably a half hour before the total eclipse. During totality, the entire area and sky looked how it would appear a few minutes after sunset. It was dark but certainly not pitch black. The moment totality ended the city instantly became fully illuminated and you could no longer look at the sun without the protective glasses.

A small rainbow above the Indiana State Capitol building in Indianapolis. Light rain moved through downtown this afternoon. Tomorrow is the eclipse of the sun with nearly 4 minutes of totality over Indianapolis!
Southern Illinois and Indiana will have high thin clouds during Monday’s solar eclipse. This will still permit good views of totality. Exciting!!
This map shows the path of totality for the 2024 eclipse. Due to the moon’s close proximity to the earth, the width of the path is roughly 115 miles wide. To view this map in larger and other formats, view it at the source: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5123/ The previous eclipse in 2017 had a path roughly 62 to 70 miles wide because the moon was further away from the earth.
