The path of totality—the region where the eclipse is completely visible—lies just south of St. Louis. The city will still experience an eclipse, with the moon blocking out 99 percent of the sun.

Will Snyder of the St. Louis Science Center encourages those who can make the journey to the path of totality to do so. It is about an hour’s drive south of St. Louis. During the total eclipse, the moon will block most of the sun’s rays.
