On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, United States, and Canada. The path of this “Totality” eclipse will travel directly across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, placing the University of Texas – Arlington in a prime location to view this phenomenon.

To commemorate the event, UTA plans to host several events and watch parties leading up to and during the eclipse. A total eclipse is rare. Although an eclipse happens about every 18 months around the globe, any given destination will only experience it about once every 400 years. This site will provide the information needed to stay up to date with the “Totality” eclipse event. Be sure to check back regularly for more details.
