Eclipse Safety Information

EYE PROTECTION MUST BE USED TO SEE ANY PART OF THE OCT 14th ANNULAR ECLIPSE

During an annular eclipse, the moon will cover part of the sun. It will look slightly smaller than the sun, creating the illusion of a ring of fire in the sky. This is due to the moon’s position in its orbit. The path of this eclipse in Texas is from Midland/Odessa to Corpus Christi.

The annular solar eclipse begins in Texas at 11:41 am CDT and leaves Texas at 12:00 pm CDT. The maximum duration of annularity in Texas is 4 minutes and 52 seconds.

How to See the Eclipse 

First, and most importantly, protect your eyes. Purchase eclipse glasses or use an indirect observation method such as a pinhole view (see below).
