The Great Indy Eclipse: When Does Daylight Say Buh-Bye in Circle City?
Hey there, stargazers and sunbathers (with proper eye protection, of course!), have you heard the buzz? Indianapolis is about to be in the spotlight – literally! A total solar eclipse is coming to town, and let me tell you, it's going to be out of this world (pun intended). But before you dust off your spacesuit (a regular hat with a colander taped on will do in a pinch), you might be wondering: when exactly does this cosmic light show begin?
Fear not, fellow eclipse enthusiasts, for I have the answer – and it's much more exciting than waiting in line at the DMV (although, depending on the eclipse merch situation, that might be debatable).
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.

| What Time Is The Eclipse Over Indianapolis |
Drumroll please...
The partial eclipse for Indianapolis kicks off at 1:50 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on April 8th, 2024. That's right, folks, mark your calendars and prepare to be amazed (and maybe a little creeped out – a disappearing sun can be unsettling!). But the real main event, the total eclipse, happens a bit later at 3:06 pm EDT. During this time, the moon will completely block the sun, bathing Indianapolis in an otherworldly twilight for a glorious 3 minutes and 50 seconds.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Important Note: Don't stare directly at the sun during the eclipse, even during totality. It can seriously damage your eyesight. Invest in some special eclipse glasses, or prepare for a shadow puppet extravaganza (because seriously, who doesn't love shadow puppets?).
So, there you have it! The time, the date, the finger-crossing for clear skies. Now you can impress your friends and family with your newfound eclipse knowledge. Just be prepared for them to ask...
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
