On April 8, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
While many parts of the country are excited about the Solar Eclipse 2024, Las Vegas will get a less-fulfilling version.
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Although southern Nevada is not in the path of totality for the solar eclipse, southern Nevadans will see a partial eclipse. For those living in the Las Vegas Valley, the eclipse will begin on Monday, April 8, around 10:15 a.m., with a peak at 11:20 a.m. At that time, the moon obscures 60% of the sun. For Las Vegas viewers, the eclipse will be over at 12:30 p.m. — Source: 8NewsNow
