We're now less than a year out from Solar Eclipse Weekend — an event marking the last chance to see a total solar eclipse in the US until 2044 + the last chance in Indy until 2153.

Outside of Texas, Indy will be the largest city with a direct hit in the path of a total eclipse on April 8, 2024 — NASA has even agreed to broadcast the event live from the Speedway with experts on-hand to answer questions.

Getting into the celestial spirit already? More than 100 events are being planned in advance so Hoosiers + an expected influx of over one million visitors can take full advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime event.

Here are a few events you can start looking forward to:

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is throwing a viewing celebration.
Newfields will have a special art exhibit.
White River State Park will be hosting a food truck festival.
The Children's Museum is putting together an "Eclipse Extravaganza."
The IMAX Theatre will host a series of space-themed documentary screenings.
Hotel Tango will have a cosmos-themed drink menu with names like "Let's Get Astrophysical."
