When is the 2024 solar eclipse? Here's the precise moment to look up in your local area.

On Monday, April 8, the sky will momentarily darken for millions of Americans in the path of totality during the 2024 solar eclipse.

This is the first solar eclipse to pass through North America in seven years, and the next one will not be seen from the contiguous U.S. until Aug. 23, 2044, according to NASA.

The exact time the solar eclipse will occur will vary, depending on the state and the time zone. And of course, eclipse visibility will also depend on Monday’s weather.

Whether you’re experiencing the path of totality from home or traveling to witness it in person, here’s what to expect for the exact eclipse time.
