ORLANDO, Fla. – On Monday, April 8, millions of Americans will look up to the sky to get a glimpse of the total solar eclipse.

While Central Florida won’t be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse, a partial eclipse will be visible, weather permitting. You’ll have to wait until 2045 to see totality in Central Florida.
