SAN ANTONIO (March 27, 2024) - On Monday, April 8, 2024, San Antonio will be near the path of the total solar eclipse. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a total solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. People viewing the eclipse from locations where the Moon’s shadow completely covers the Sun – known as the path of totality – will experience a total solar eclipse. It will be the last total solar eclipse visible from the contiguous United States until 2044.
While the far northwest side of San Antonio will be the only part of the city in totality, many are still planning to view the eclipse within the city or travel to areas like the Hill Country for the total eclipse experience. For San Antonio, the partial eclipse will begin at 12:14 p.m., totality being from 1:32-1:36 p.m., and the partial eclipse will end at 2:55 p.m.
As San Antonio prepares for this eclipse, everyone is encouraged to participate safely.
