With just a few weeks until the annual solar eclipse, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is recommending Texans make reservations if they hope to watch the cosmic event from one of the many state parks along the eclipse's path.
TPWD said there are 17 Texas State Parks along the path of greatest eclipse visibility and that visitors planning to visit state parks on Oct. 14"are highly encouraged to reserve a day pass in advance since they will likely reach capacity."The annular eclipse is not to be confused with the total eclipse coming next April.
On Oct. 14, TPWD said,"The moon will begin to block the sun at about 10:20 a.m. with the ring of fire becoming visible around 11:40 a.m. along the Texas-New Mexico border. The eclipse will then travel southeastward across the state. The duration of totality will vary depending on your vantage point, ranging from a few seconds to five minutes. The closer you are to the eclipse's path, the longer you will be able to enjoy the ring of fire.
