The duration of a Total Solar Eclipse can vary depending on several factors, including the specific location along the path of totality and the geometry of the Earth-Moon-Sun system during the event. On average, the duration of totality for a total solar eclipse is around a few minutes, typically ranging from about 1 to 7 minutes.  It's important to note that while the total phase of the eclipse is relatively short, the entire eclipse event, including the partial phases before and after totality, can last several hours. Observers often travel to specific locations within the path of totality to maximize their chances of experiencing the longest totality duration possible. In Hendricks County, totality will last over 3 minutes while the entire eclipse event will span over 2 hours. Partial Eclipse Begins: 1:50 PM Full Eclipse Begins: 3:06 PM Total Eclipse Ends: 3:09 PM Partial Eclipse Ends: 4:23 PM
