Top Locations in Florida for Viewing Solar Eclipse: The much anticipated total solar eclipse will occur on Monday, April 8, in the US. NASA thinks it will last 4:26.
The eclipse will only be visible in parts of the US, Canada, and Mexico due to the lunar shadow.
Totality will be visible in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
A portion of Tennessee and Michigan will be eclipsed, while the rest will experience a partial eclipse. The next total solar eclipse in the US is expected in 2044, which has astronomers interested.
Florida will get a partial solar eclipse, but not the total one.
