The total solar eclipse will be visible from Dallas on Monday afternoon.Here's when it's expected
DALLAS — After months of anticipation, a total solar eclipse will finally occur Monday.
This historic event will not occur in North Texas for the next 300 years, but the total time will be more than four minutes, as the moon will cover the sun and darken the sky across the region.
Although skies may be cloudy during the eclipse day, there's still plenty to see during the event.
This is expected in the following cases:
The partial solar eclipse will begin in Dallas at 12:20 p.m. Then, a total solar eclipse will be reached from 1:40 to 1:44 p.m. After the total solar eclipse is complete, a partial solar eclipse will remain in Dallas until 3 p.m.
Here are the total hours by specific area across the North Texas region.
