"Upcoming 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse: Times, Locations, and Where to Find Glasses"

Detailed maps have been provided for the path of the upcoming annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, through the Hill Country, San Antonio, and South Central Texas. San Antonio and Bexar County will experience the full annular eclipse, with the 'ring of fire' visible throughout the area for a duration of 3 to 4.5 minutes. The grazing zone just outside the path of the full eclipse will allow for the observation of the "Baily's Beads" effect in areas such as Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, Seguin, and Brackettville. The longest-lasting eclipse will be in Edwards, Real, Bandera, Medina, Atascosa, and Live Oak Counties, where the ring of fire will last for nearly 5 minutes. Other counties in Texas, including Frio, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, Uvalde, and Wilson, will also have great viewing opportunities for the annular eclipse.
