How obscured will the sun be during the solar eclipse from where you are? Use this tool to find out.

Want to know precisely when the eclipse window begins and ends where you are? The Great American Eclipse, the last solar eclipse to occur in the contiguous U.S. until 2033, is crucial to know when the sun will be obscured and when it will begin and end depending on location. Xavier M. Jubier has created an Interactive Eclipse Map to help users find out if you're in the path of totality, how much of the sun would be obscured if you aren't, and when exactly you should be outside for maximum eclipse time. For example, KENS 5 will witness totality between 1:33:39 p.m. and 1:35:05 p.M. for the entire partial eclipse, while those at Louise Hays Park in Kerrville will experience it twice as long as those at the city's official eclipse festival will.

Want to know precisely when the eclipse window begins and ends where you are?

SAN ANTONIO — So much information has been shared about the forthcoming Great American Eclipse – from the date and the science to where to get glasses and how to be prepared if you're traveling – but when it comes down to it, two of the most important things to know are how much of the sun will be covered where you are and when you'll need to be outside.

Luckily there's a tool that makes it easy to find out. And this being the last solar eclipse to bring totality to the contiguous U.S. until 2033, now is the time to know when you should be looking at the sky.

Xavier M. Jubier has created this Interactive Eclipse Map allowing users to input your address to find out if you're in the path of totality, how much of the sun will be obscured for you if you aren't and when exactly you should be outside for maximum eclipse time.

For instance, we here at KENS 5 will witness totality between 1:33:39 p.m. and 1:35:05 p.m. The window for the entire partial eclipse, meanwhile, starts at 12:14:34 p.m. and ends at 2:55:46 p.m. Meanwhile, those heading to Louise Hays Park in Kerrville for the city's official eclipse festival will experience totality for nearly twice as long, from 1:32:07 p.m. to 1:36:32 p.m.

Here's how long the window of totality will last for other communities in the path, according to the interactive map:
