Cities Across the Midwest and Indiana Prepare for Rare Astronomical Event

Total solar eclipse to occur on April 8, 2024, visible across multiple areas in the United States including the Midwest and Indiana.
During the eclipse, the moon will completely block the sun, causing the sky to darken and temperatures to drop.
The eclipse will last up to 4 minutes and 28 seconds, depending on location.
Cities are planning festivities and educational programs to celebrate the event, including Indiana University which has cancelled all in-person classes for the day.
The next total solar eclipse to traverse the U.S. will not occur until 2045.
