The great solar eclipse of 2024 is quickly approaching, and many people want to experience the event while in the path of totality.Luckily for Oklahomans, they won't have to travel far to be in that eclipse's path on April 8. KOCO 5 Meteorologist Jonathan Conder says most of Oklahoma will see a partial eclipse, but the path of totality runs through far southeastern Oklahoma.In the path of totality, the moon completely covers the sun, creating twilight during the day. Areas with a partial eclipse — Oklahoma City will have a 93% eclipse — will see part of the sun as the moon will block only some of it.So, how far do you have to go to be in the path of totality? Jonathan says you need to get into Antlers, Hugo, Idabel and Beavers Bend.The eclipse won't last that long in Oklahoma. The moon's shadow will move at 1,686 mph – which is two times the speed of sound — and the path of totality will be in Oklahoma for 4 minutes starting at 1:44 p.m.More Solar Eclipse CoverageSolar eclipse in Oklahoma: What to know and where to see itSolar eclipse in Oklahoma: Where to stay to get the best view of April's solar eclipseSolar eclipse in Oklahoma: What causes eclipses and what kinds there areSolar eclipse in Oklahoma: The special glasses you'll need to view it Solar Eclipse: Don't let the clouds in Oklahoma ruin your eclipse
