"2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Path, Time, Glasses, and Ohio Cities"

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible, with Southeast Michigan offering the best viewing spot in the state, experiencing about 98% sun coverage. The eclipse will begin at 1:58 p.m. and reach maximum totality around 3:14 p.m. in Detroit and southeast Michigan, lasting longer than the 2017 eclipse. Safety precautions for viewing the eclipse include using approved ISO 12312-2 safety standard glasses or making a pinhole camera or projector. While Michigan is not in the line of totality, the southeast corner, particularly in Monroe County, will experience a partial eclipse.
