INDIANAPOLIS — When the total solar eclipse crosses North America, Indianapolis will be located in the center of the Path of Totality. For 3 minutes and 46 seconds, Indianapolis will experience darkness as the moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun.
Just after 3 p.m. (ET) on April 8, 2024, when the Path of Totality begins, it will mark the first time in 819 years that a Total Solar Eclipse has been visible from Indianapolis. Another Total Solar Eclipse will not happen in Indianapolis again until the year 2153, 129 years after next year’s occurrence.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway will have an exciting day of programming and celebration planned as a partner with NASA as one of just a select few broadcast locations across the country and will open their facility to the world for this incredible phenomenon.
