Total Solar Eclipse: Check Date, Timings And How To Watch Surya Grahan

The Moon will shroud the Sun for up to 4 minutes, 28 seconds, a spectacle normally unfolding in remote corners of the globe but this time passing over major cities like Dallas, Indianapolis and Cleveland. An estimated 44 million people live within the path of totality, with another couple hundred million within 200 miles (320 kilometers), guaranteeing the continent’s biggest Eclipse crowd ever.

Practically everyone on the continent will get to see a Partial Eclipse. You can watch the whole thing unfold online, too. NASA is offering several hours of streaming online from several cities along the totality path. The Associated Press will bring live coverage of watch parties and festivities.

It all depends on the weather, of course. The National Weather Service is providing daily updates of its cloud cover forecasts along the path.
