Prepare yourselves, Kentucky, for the upcoming celestial spectacle involving the alignment of the Earth, sun, and moon.

According to Mark Pitts, an astronomy professor at EKU, the moon will position itself precisely between the Earth and the Sun, causing its shadow to fall upon the Earth's surface.

Scheduled for April 8, 2024, the next eclipse promises to captivate observers.

For optimal viewing of totality, head to far Western Kentucky.

This forthcoming spring, Kentucky residents will have the unique opportunity to witness a total eclipse, albeit within a limited area covering locales such as Paducah and Henderson.

On April 8, 2024, a total eclipse will traverse a segment of Kentucky, directly passing over Paducah at 2 p.m., offering a fleeting visibility window of one and a half minutes. Remarkably, this event marks the first occurrence of a total eclipse in Kentucky since 2017, with the last one prior dating back to 1869. The subsequent total eclipse is not expected until October 17, 2153.
