Will I See The Total Solar Eclipse In Levittown?

LEVITTOWN, NY — Excitement is building across Nassau County for the Monday, April 8 solar eclipse.

In the United States, the path of totality extends from Texas to Maine, but each of the 48 continental states will see some of the solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon slips between our bright star and Earth.

In Levittown, the moon will cover about 89 percent of the sun at the peak of the eclipse, according to a NASA map that is searchable by ZIP code.

Here are the details:

Partial eclipse begins: 2:11 p.m.
Totality begins: 2:52 p.m.
Maximum: 3:26 p.m.
Totality ends: 3:59 p.m.
Partial ends: 4:36 p.m.

The eclipse will last two hours and 25 minutes from beginning to end.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is hosting an eclipse viewing party.

Right now, it looks like we could have showers to dampen the big event.

The total solar eclipse starts in Mexico, entering the United States in Texas and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, as well as small parts of Tennessee and Michigan, before entering Canada in southern Ontario through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton before exiting continental North America on the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
