On April 8, 2024, Vermont will see a total eclipse of the Sun. The northern portion of the state will see totality. If you are close to the USA/Canadian border, you will see close to three and a half minutes of darkness.

Eclipses of the Sun happen once every 18 months…on average. The cone of darkness from the Moon is no more than 62 to 166 miles wide as it travels across the sunlit surface of the Earth, depending on how far away the Moon is from the Earth. The Moon, Sun, and Earth must be in the right place and time to see a total eclipse of the Sun for your location.
