Those in the roughly 2,575-mile path will see a total solar eclipse — meaning that they will go into total darkness as the moon moves in between the sun and the Earth.

Those who live in other parts of the country won’t be left out. While the path of totality is only about 115 miles wide, the rest of the contiguous 48 states will experience a partial eclipse — meaning the skies will darken, but it will look more like an overcast afternoon.

The eclipse will enter the United States in Texas and travel through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse.

If you plan a trip to go see the eclipse, the table below provides the time that totality begins in some U.S. cities in the path of totality. These areas will also experience a partial eclipse before and after these times.
