On the afternoon of April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse – the first since the Great American Eclipse in 2017 and the last until August 2044 – was arced across the southern half of Indiana from southwest to northeast. The centerline of the eclipse will enter Indiana at around 1:47 PM EDT, with totality beginning at about 3:02 PM We decided to go southwest to a small town that apparently would have totality. It was really really fun, me and the 6 kiddos with our eclipse glasses. The whole park area got dark when the sun was covered up, like it was dusk. It stayed that way for a few minutes and then started to get light again. It was really fascinating. Afterwards, all of our eyes hurt. We all felt it. Even though we used the glasses, our eyes were painful for a half hour or so as we drove home. What an experience!!
