Minnesota isn't along the path of totality for the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse on April 8 โ but even those who aren't hitting the road for a better view might be able to get a peek.
By the numbers: Around 74% of the Sun will be obscured by the Moon for the eyes of Twin Cities residents โ with the eclipse starting around 12:50 pm and peaking around 2pm, per NASA.
Those in the southeast corner of the state could see closer to the full thing. In the area surrounding La Crosse, Wisconsin, about 82% of the Sun will be blocked.
The big picture: Texas appears to be this year's prime eclipse destination โ specifically Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, Axios' Jacob Knutson writes, per AAA booking data.
Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo, New York are also among the top eclipse-viewing cities.
