"Popular Eclipse Events Draw Tourists to Southern Utah, Texas, Kansas, and The Alamo"

Tourists from all over are flocking to southern Utah next month to witness an annular solar eclipse, a rare event where the moon appears as a ring of sunlight around it. The path of totality will pass through southern Oregon, northern Nevada, southern Utah, parts of Arizona and Colorado, New Mexico, and southwest Texas. Towns in the middle of the path, such as Richfield and Torrey, are expecting to see the totality for over 4 minutes. Southern Utah, known for its dark sky designated areas, is preparing for an influx of eclipse tourists, with businesses booking up and locals advising visitors to be respectful and bring their own supplies. Safety precautions, such as using solar filters, are recommended for viewing the eclipse.
