CINCINNATI — A total solar eclipse will pass through a portion of the Tri-State Monday. Where can you get the longest view of the eclipse? Below is a list of the best places, and a map to track the path of totality to your location.

ECLIPSE WINDOW

The partial solar eclipse begins around 1:51 p.m. EDT. Most of our "maximum" times align around 3:08-3:10 p.m. and then a partial eclipse continues through 4:24 p.m.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE PATH

If you want to view the total solar eclipse and get the full effect of the darkening sky, you want to be in the path to "totality".

Click the slider on the interactive below to set a time, and then search on the map for where the moon's shadow will fall.

Highlighted it in yellow below is that path of totality. The rest of the Tri-State will see the progress of the eclipse too but in the "partial" form, absent of total darkness.

Central path of the eclipse
Central path of the eclipse

In the path of totality, the central line is where the total darkness experience will last the longest. This is where the eclipse will be around 4 minutes in length. As you move away from center, the time decreases until you pass the edge line. For us, that includes Fayette, Union, Franklin, Ripley, Dearborn, Butler, northeast Warren and northeast Hamilton County.
