About the Event

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) is the home to the world’s largest single day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500, while also playing host to numerous world-class events held in the spirit of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. With this unmatched combination of pedigree, tradition, experience, and resources, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will serve as the world’s largest viewing site for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has invited NASA to join as collaborators to feature its live broadcast and showcase NASA experts and engagements around the scientific phenomenon that is a total solar eclipse! Just after 3 p.m. (ET) on April 8, 2024, when the Path of Totality begins, it will mark the first time in 819 years that a Total Solar Eclipse has been visible from Indianapolis. Another Total Solar Eclipse will not happen in Indianapolis again until the year 2153, 129 years after next year’s occurrence.
