A Total Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon is near the closest point to Earth so that the moon completely blocks out the sun, creating total darkness. The last two Total Solar Eclipses in the U.S. were in 1979 and 2017. On April 8, 2024, we are expecting to experience total darkness at 14:18:54 (2:18 pm). Since the Jackman region is in the central line of the Total Eclipse, the darkness is expected to last for 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
