The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Indianapolis
Indianapolis is perfectly placed to see totality! Though not right on the centerline, the downtown area will still get a very respectable 3m45s of totality!
The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the maps above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through the Indianapolis area.
Where can I see the total eclipse?
Because of Indianapolis’ location in the path, and the size of the metro area, it’s very important to understand that the farther south you go, the more totality you’ll see. So for example,
Zionsville gets 3m20s of totality.
Speedway gets about 3m40s, and
Beech Grove gets almost four minutes!
You almost can’t go wrong anywhere you choose in Central Indiana. All the suburbs in the doughnut counties are good, though
Lebanon only gets a bit more than two and a half minutes in the shadow. From
Anderson to
Greencastle,
Noblesville,
Carmel,
Muncie,
Avon and
Plainfield, every major area is perfectly placed to see totality!
Closer to the centerline,
Greenfield will see just under four minutes of totality – as will
New Palestine,
Shelbyville,
Greenwood and
Martinsville.
To get the absolute most totality possible, you’ll need to be at the centerline of the path. That centerline in the area passes from
Vincennes through
Bloomfield, to
Bloomington and
Franklin, then on to
Morristown,
Knightstown,
New Castle and
Winchester. These cities all get almost four minutes of totality or more!
