What time will the 2024 total solar eclipse happen in Chicago and across Illinois? Some parts of Illinois, including Carbondale and surrounding cities, are in the so-called path of totality, meaning they will briefly see the sun completely covered by the moon, but for Chicago and its surrounding suburbs an estimated 94% totality is expected. It’ll happen between 1:59 and 2:03. So get your sunglasses ready.
