Here's your guide to viewing the 2024 total solar eclipse in the St. Louis area, providing information and tips for experiencing this rare celestial event.

The April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse will be visible in various parts of the U.S., with some areas experiencing a total eclipse and others a partial one. Michigan, although mostly outside the path of totality, will still be able to witness the event with approved eclipse glasses or a safe viewer. A small section of southeastern Monroe County in Michigan is expected to be in the path of totality, where the area will likely experience dimming and a slight drop in temperatures as the moon's shadow covers the sun. Residents can use a ZIP code locator to find out the time, duration, peak, and percentage of the eclipse in their area.

Residents in Florida can view a partial solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, with the northern parts of the state experiencing a greater blockage of the sun. It's crucial to use solar glasses or a projector to avoid eye damage. Pineville in the northwestern tip of Florida's Panhandle is the best place to view the eclipse, with 82.4 percent of the sun covered at 1:55 p.m. CDT. Additionally, Florida will be in the path of totality for a total solar eclipse in 2045.
