Will Michigan witness the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th, 2024?

On April 8th, 2024, folks in Michigan might catch a glimpse of the 2024 Great American Solar Eclipse.

The eclipse is expected to pass very close to the southeastern edge of Michigan. But don't fret if you're not right in its path - most of southeastern Michigan will still get to see about 95% of the eclipse, which means a near-total eclipse for many.

Here's a breakdown of what to expect on April 8th (all times are local):

The partial eclipse kicks off at 1:52 p.m.
The midpoint, or peak, of the eclipse is at 3:12 p.m.
Totality ends around 3:14 p.m.
The partial eclipse wraps up by 4:28 p.m.
Why is this eclipse a big deal?

Unlike the 2017 Great American Eclipse, which only covered a small area, the 2024 event will darken the skies for about 31 million people in the U.S. Another 1 to 4 million people are expected to travel to places where they can witness the total eclipse.

Will Detroit see the eclipse?

Detroit might miss the direct path of the eclipse, but that doesn't mean we won't see anything cool. We're still in the 95% eclipse zone, so get ready for a near-total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024.
