(This is an archived page about the total solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will occur in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton is located off the eastern edge of the eclipse path about a third of the way to the centerline. In downtown Dayton, totality will last for about 2 minutes and 43 seconds, longer than the maximum duration anywhere during the historic 2017 eclipse but considered merely respectable for our 4-minute-plus eclipse of 2024. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in Dayton for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
