(NEXSTAR) – The total solar eclipse will darken much of the U.S. on April 8, but the ribbon of “totality,” the path across the U.S. created by a totally-obscured sun, will cross only a select bunch of states.

As the eclipse works its way northeast into North America, the first entry point will be along Mexico’s Pacific coast, at about 11:07 p.m.

The first U.S state to see the total eclipse will be Texas (roughly 1:27 CDT):

After the Lone Star state, the path moves through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Slivers of both Tennessee and Michigan also fall into the path of totality.

In Caribou, Maine, one of the last U.S. cities to watch the eclipse, totality will end at 3:34 p.m. EDT. before the celestial phenomenon moves into Canada.

If you plan on watching the eclipse, be sure to follow these safety tips and, if you’re using eclipse glasses, make sure they’re the correct ones.

After April 8, you won’t have another chance to watch a total solar eclipse from the contiguous United States until Aug. 23, 2044.
