How long until the April 8 total solar eclipse in Austin? Check out our countdown

The total solar eclipse that has Austin buzzing is less than two weeks away.

On April 8, the moon's path will intersect with the sun's, casting a wide shadow over Texas and the rest of the country. Austin is directly in that shadow's path, meaning it will be pitch black in the city from about 1:35 p.m. to 1:38 p.m. The eclipse will be partly visible starting at 12:17 p.m.
