Indianapolis, Indiana – Get ready for an unforgettable experience at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) on April 8, 2024! For the first time in 819 years, a total solar eclipse will cast its shadow over Indianapolis, and you have the chance to be part of this historic event.
The IMS, famous for hosting the world’s largest single-day sporting event, the Indianapolis 500, is teaming up with Purdue University to host a global viewing party. As the Moon slides between the Sun and Earth, Indianapolis will plunge into darkness for three minutes and 46 seconds, and the whole world will be watching.
This special event is even more exciting because Indianapolis is right in the heart of the eclipse’s path of totality. NASA has chosen the city as one of its broadcast sites, making it the perfect place to witness this rare celestial spectacle.
Purdue University, with its strong ties to space exploration and motorsports, is the perfect partner for this event. The university has produced more astronauts and motorsports engineers than any other in Indiana. So, as you look up at the sky on April 8, you’ll be joining a long tradition of Boilermakers reaching for the stars.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. It will be another 129 years before the total solar eclipse returns to Indianapolis. So, mark your calendars and get ready for an experience that’s out of this world!
