Adler Planetarium hosts Eclipse Encounter 2024

While people travel to Indianapolis and Carbondale, Illinois to see the solar eclipse in its path of totality, Chicagoans will still be in for a treat. Chicago will see 94% of the sun covered by the moon at 2:07 p.m. Monday. The eclipse starts in Chicago at 12:51 p.m. and ends at 3:22 p.m.
