I am planning the third one in Texas April 8, 2024.

I saw the first in 1979 in my own backyard. The second in 2017 in Idaho.

Hopefully will have clear skies again for next one.

An annular eclipse is not as dramatic as a total eclipse (see my article here for the difference), but it is still an amazing sight to see the ‘ring of fire’ as the Moon […]

This area is usually about 100 miles (160 kms) wide and 10,000 miles (16,100 kms) long.
