Being in the Path of Totality

Being in the path of totality means that you'll witness the complete obscuration of the Sun by the Moon. Experience the eerie midday darkness, the breathtaking sight of the Sun's corona, and the mystical atmosphere that envelops the surroundings. It's an awe-inspiring event that will leave a lasting impression on your soul.

What It Means to be in the Path of Totality

The path of totality offers the rare opportunity to witness the Sun's corona, its shimmering outer atmosphere. This ethereal display is visible only during the total phase and is a celestial spectacle that will leave you in awe.

In the path of totality, you'll experience the captivating shadow of the Moon sweeping across the landscape. Watch as darkness engulfs the surroundings, revealing a celestial dance between light and shadow.

Information about the Eclipse

The Science Behind It

During a solar eclipse, the Moon aligns perfectly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on our planet. This alignment creates a mesmerizing display as the Moon's shadow moves across the Earth's surface, temporarily darkening the sky.

Durations and Phases

The 2024 Solar Eclipse will have a duration of approximately 4 minutes and 28 seconds for those watching in the path of totality which includes Broken Bow. The eclipse will go through several phases, including partial eclipse, totality, and partial eclipse again, each offering its unique visual spectacle. 

The peak of the eclipse, called totality, will last slightly longer than the one in 2017 did and US residents who miss this year's eclipse will have to wait another couple of decades for a similar event.

Tips for Enjoying the Eclipse

Protect Your Eyes

Always use proper solar eclipse glasses to safeguard your eyes during the event. Never look directly at the Sun without the appropriate eyewear, as it can cause serious damage to your vision.

Find a Clear Viewing Spot

To fully enjoy the eclipse, choose a location away from city lights and buildings that may obstruct your view. Broken Bow's serene natural beauty provides an ideal setting for a memorable eclipse experience.
