TEXAS IS THE PLACE FOR TOTALITY!
In the span of 6 months, two solar eclipses will have criss-crossed Texas! These events will be a rare and spectacular, possibly once in a lifetime occurrence.
On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse began over the Pacific Ocean reaching the USA at Oregon. After passing through California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, the path of annular solar eclipse bisected Texas. People near the middle of the path of the annular solar eclipse saw the dramatic view of the Sun as a brilliant "ring of fire" for nearly five minutes.
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse first touches the Pacific coast of Mexico at Mazatlan. After racing across Mexico, the total solar eclipse first darkens Texas at Eagle Pass. People near the middle of the path of the total solar eclipse will enjoy an astounding duration of over four minutes, nearly twice the duration of totality as the August 21, 2017 eclipse. Many who saw totality in 2017 agree that it was a unique and exceptionally beautiful life experience. Texas is uniquely situated for a repeat experience.
TWO GREAT NORTH AMERICAN ECLIPSES
WHAT IS THE 2023 ANNULAR ECLIPSE?
On October 14, 2023, the moon will passed between the Earth and the sun, creating a shadow on many parts of the planet's surface. Unlike a total solar eclipse, this celestial event only partially covered the sun, creating a "ring of fire" around the moon at certain locations. This is why it's called an annular eclipse.
WHAT IS THE 2024 TOTAL ECLIPSE?
At the beginning of the eclipse, you’ll see the full sun. The next stage is first contact, when the shadow of the moon begins to “touch” the edge of the solar disk. As the moon’s shadow covers more of the sun, it becomes a partial eclipse. Second contact happens when the moon almost completely blocks the sun, right before totality. Finally, totality is when the sun is completely blocked except for the shining corona at the edges. Third contact is what happens when the moon’s shadow begins to uncover the sun, and you might see the “diamond ring” as the corona disappears and the sun reemerges. A few minutes after this, the eclipse ends and sunlight is fully restored.
PATH OF TOTALITY
Some parts of Texas will be prime viewing spots for a total solar eclipse when the moon will entirely block the sun. This will take place on April 8, 2024, when the solar eclipse will be visible across parts of 13 states. Texas will experience the most prolonged duration, whereas Maine will have the shortest time. Texans will be the first to view the total solar eclipse as the sky will become dark for several minutes. They will also have the added advantage of viewing the sun’s corona.
Texas did not experience the previous solar eclipse in 2017 but will have a front-row seat for the upcoming total solar eclipse in 2024. The path of totality covers a massive area, and the eclipse will cross through three of the largest cities in Texas: namely, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.
THE BEST TEXAS CITIES TO VISIT FOR THE ECLIPSE
Clear skies have been predicted, making Texas the best place for eclipse viewing in 2024. Since the north or west side of the path of totality generally has a sunnier climate than the south or east, the Texas Hill Country may offer the best eclipse viewing. Some of the cities in Texas in the path of totality include: Del Rio Eagle Pass Brackettville Carrizo Springs Crystal City Uvalde Carta Valley Concan Leakey Rocksprings Bandera Ingram Kerrville Comfort Harper Junction Boerne Fredericksburg San Antonio Mason Llano Marble Falls Burnet Brady San Saba Lampasas Copperas Cove Georgetown Round Rock Austin Killeen Pflugerville Harker Heights Gatesville Temple Woodway Waco Hillsboro Stephenville Granbury Corsicana Arlington Fort Worth Dallas Irving Fairfield Garland Plano Athens Canton Greenville Commerce Mineola Lindale Sulphur Springs Tyler Paris Pittsburg Mount Pleasant Gilmer Clarksville New Boston Texarkana
PRECISE TIME THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE WILL HAPPEN IN TEXAS
At exactly 12:10 pm, Texans will experience the eclipse. But the totality will begin at around 1:27 pm until 1:49 pm. At
3:06 pm, the solar eclipse will exit the state. In cities like San Antonio, Austin and Fort Worth, totality will last around two minutes but four minutes in Dallas, while the total eclipse will be visible from 1:32 pm to 1:37 pm, or 4 minutes 24 seconds, in Fredericksburg. The moon’s shadow will travel approximately 478 miles in about 17 minutes, 30 seconds at an average speed of 1,641 miles per hour from the Mexico-Texas border to the Texas-Oklahoma border.
