Less than 9 months from now, Americans will get to see a Total Solar Eclipse.īoth solar eclipses, the Annular and the Total, are being called the Great American Eclipses. Places near the centerline receive the longest duration.Ħ.63 million Americans already live inside the path, and millions more are expected to travel to see this annular solar eclipse in just under 3 months from now. The duration is the maximum at the center of the Moon's shadow. The time of eclipse is given in the local time zone. ![]() The dark oval represents where the thin ring of the Sun, the 'Ring of Fire', will be seen at that moment.

In Texas, the path of this eclipse intersects the path of the Aptotal solar eclipse in the San Antonio region.ĭuring an Annular Solar Eclipse, the apparent size of the Moon's disk is slightly smaller than the apparent size of the Sun's disk. The archeo-astronomical site at Chaco Canyon is ideally situated for a dramatic eclipse. See the eclipse fly over Crater Lake National Park, Great Basin National Park, and others in the Four Corners region.
