The first event on Oct. 14 is an annular solar eclipse in which the moon will be seen moving between Earth and the sun, leaving only the edges of the sun visible. The second will be a total solar eclipse that will happen on April 8.
Credit:While plenty of Texas towns eagerly anticipate big events like the annual county fair or the Friday night football game between high school rivals, it’s a whole other level of excitement for a city to put an actual countdown clock on top of its website., as the Hill Country shire counts down to one of the biggest cosmic events of our lifetime.
The second, more anticipated event will be a total solar eclipse that will happen on April 8. The moon will once again move between Earth and the sun, but this time it will block out the sun for more than four minutes for those at the center of the “path of totality” — the path traced on Earth’s surface by the moon’s shadow.
“We believe all our hospitality businesses will experience large volumes that day,” McBride told the San Antonio Report. “Some businesses are planning to be closed just because they may only have limited access due to larger crowds.” McBride said the October eclipse is expected to bring visitors, but in fewer numbers than the April event.
Other Texas cities that are in the path of totality include Castroville, Bandera, Uvalde, Waco, Killeen, Round Rock, Plano and Tyler. Parts of Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth also will experience totality.In San Antonio, both UTSA and the Scobee Education Center and Planetarium located at San Antonio College will lead viewing experiences for both the annular and total solar eclipses, while local businesses such as Alamo Beer, and the Witte Museum and DoSeum are planning watch parties.
