Frequently Asked Questions

What is a solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up in that order. The Moon will directly be between the Sun and Earth which will cast a shadow on our planet. Ozark is located in the dark part of the shadow (the umbra) which will allow us to experience a total solar eclipse. 

What is the "path of totality"?

The path of totality is the narrow track across the Earth along which the darkest part of the Moon's shadow, the umbra, travels during a total solar eclipse. On either side of the path of total an eclipse is only partial. 

What time will the total eclipse occur in Ozark & Altus, AR?

Ozark | 12:33 pm - 2 minutes, 33 seconds | Totality begins at 1:50 pm 
Altus | 12:33 pm - 2 minutes, 55 seconds | Totality begins at 1:50 pm

When was the last total solar eclipse in Arkansas?

1918 and the next one will be in 2045.
