Loveland, Ohio – On April 8, 2024, people within a 124-mile wide stretch of Ohio will experience aĀ totalĀ solarĀ eclipseĀ ā where the moon appears to totally obscure the sun. And for those not in the path of totality, a partial eclipse will be viewable. A total solar eclipse is a rare and unique event. Ohio’s last visible total solar eclipse was over 200 years ago – in 1806!
By looking at the map, you will see that the Loveland area is not in the zone where we will experience a “total” eclipse however we should certainly experience a darkened sky because we will be in the “Partial Totality Area”.
