Sounds a bit 'Dooms Day' like .. Ring of Fire! There shouldn't be any doom involved. It's when the moon will pass directly between Mama Earth and the sun. It's called a "ring of fire" eclipse because only the outer ring of the sun is visible. It's coming up soon ... Saturday, October 14! That's during ACL Fest Weekend 2. 'They say' things can get crazy during a full moon. Wonder what a 'Ring of Fire' will do?
The travel path of this solar eclipse starts in Oregon and ends in Texas. Looks like San Antonio is in the direct path with the best view. Austin is a bit off, so the view is not as good. It's best to catch between 11:45a-12pm for the full view! It should start around 10:30am. Be sure to protect your eyes with solar filter!
The Annular Eclipse October 14 is an appetizer for folks getting ready for the once-in-a-life-time Total Solar Eclipse in April. It's supposed to begin in Dripping Springs around 12:16 pm on Monday, April 8, 2024. Click here!
