Total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024
Partial phase
2:14:36 p.m. to 3:26:53 p.m.
The Moon gradually moves in front of the Sun and increasingly hides it. The ambient light decreases, and the Sun takes the shape of an increasingly thin crescent.
Total eclipse
3:26:53 to 3:28:19 p.m.
The people located in the path of totality will see the Sun completely disappear behind the Moon. The sky darkens, like it does at twilight, with 360-degree sunset colours on the horizon; the brightest stars and planets appear.
At this time, only the Sun's corona will be visible around the dark silhouette of the Moon. This is the most spectacular moment of the eclipse.
Partial phase
3:28:19 p.m. to 4:36:54 p.m.
When totality ends, the Moon gradually uncovers the Sun, hiding it less and less. Ambient light increases, the Sun takes the shape of an increasingly larger crescent, until it goes back to its original shape.
