Viewing conditions of the annular eclipse will be near perfect in North Texas. Skies will be clear through the afternoon. Temperatures will be pleasant too!
The eclipse will begin shortly after 10 a.m. and conclude at about 1:30 p.m. Peak coverage will occur for 20 minutes between 11:41 a.m. and 12:01 p.m.
Protective eyewear is needed to view any solar eclipse.
An annular eclipse is when the moon obscures the sun but is too far from the Earth to completely cover it, leaving a ring of sunlight called an annulus, better known as the “ring of fire.”
