2017 Total Solar Eclipse

Please be safe if you are planning to viewing the eclipse.

Where to see the total eclipse

Most of the country and most of Kansas is not in totality. To see the total eclipse you must be at the correct location, at the correct time. The closer to the center line the longer totality will last.

Because of the incredible demand, NEKAAL can not accommodate everyone. Below are some public parks in totality as well as maps.
