Solar Eclipse – 2024

So this happened today:

“Nearly seven years after the last total solar eclipse wowed Nashville residents, the 2024 total eclipse is finally here and while Music City is not in the path of totality again, it will still be a sight to behold.

Those who were in Nashville in 2017 got the full totality experience with the moon completely covering the sun for a few minutes. The 2024 eclipse promises to be even better with a wider path of totality and a longer period of totality.

The next total solar eclipse won’t be until 2044.

Nashville and Middle Tennessee will experience a partial solar eclipse, which means we’ll see the moon cover about 95% of the sun.

The path of the solar eclipse this year goes south to north. In the U.S., the first major city the eclipse hits is Dallas, Texas. From there it continues through the bottom corner of Oklahoma, through central Arkansas, southern Missouri, western Kentucky, southern Illinois, central Indiana, northern Ohio, northwest Pennsylvania, northern New York, northern Vermont, northern New Hampshire and central Maine.” – The Tennessean
