On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will plunge much of Indiana into momentary darkness.

Excitement and interest are growing for the big event as hundreds of thousands of people plan to be in the state to get a prime viewing of the eclipse.

IDHS, state agencies and local government personnel are partnering together to ensure all Hoosiers and visitors can experience the spectacle safely.
