Where will you be when the solar eclipse happens on Monday, April 8?

To find the path of totality, you will need to venture north to Vermont and New Hampshire. Check out our guide to visit Burlington, if you are heading that way.

If you plan to stay in Massachusetts, then you’ll get to experience a partial eclipse. Viewers can expect to see the dark side of the moon for about four minutes. The eclipse process begins around 2:30 p.m. at the Texas-Mexico border, traveling across the US and ending in northern Maine at around 3:30 p.m. For us here in the Bay State, it’s expected to get dark at ~3 p.m.

Keep in mind the next total solar eclipse won’t be until August in 2044. Here’s how you can take advantage locally:
  • View Boston is offering a ticket discount from 1 to 5 p.m. to take your viewing party up above Boston. Admission will be $10 during that limited time + guests will receive special eclipse glasses.
