Eclipse 2023 Texas

Annular Solar Eclipse set to captivate Texas in 2023

Unveiling the path and timing of this celestial event

Mark your calendars for October 14, 2023

On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will grace the skies of Texas, offering sky gazers a rare and awe-inspiring celestial event. This annular eclipse, also known as a "ring of fire" eclipse, occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, but the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's. As a result, the Moon does not completely block the Sun's light, leaving a brilliant ring of sunlight visible around the dark silhouette of the Moon.

The path of this annular solar eclipse will begin in Mexico and traverse across the United States, providing a view of the eclipse to millions of people in Texas, as well as parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The eclipse will also be visible in parts of South and Central America.

In Texas, the annular eclipse will be visible in the following cities:

  • San Antonio
  • Austin
  • Dallas
  • Houston
  • El Paso

The exact time of the eclipse will vary depending on your location. In San Antonio, the eclipse will begin at 9:14 am MDT, reach its maximum at 11:41 am CDT, and end at 12:01 pm CDT. In Austin, the eclipse will begin at 9:15 am MDT, reach its maximum at 11:42 am CDT, and end at 12:02 pm CDT.

It's important to note that looking directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse can cause serious eye damage. Therefore, it is crucial to use proper eye protection, such as eclipse glasses or solar filters, to safely view this event.

Get ready to experience this celestial spectacle and witness the beauty of the cosmos firsthand!
