Those who live in Kerrville, TX are really lucky! They are smack dab in the middle of this year's eclipse as well as next year's total eclipse.


Not to mention the Kerrville Folk Festival:

We’re a couple of hours away from totality and it’s likely to be cloudy where we’d be able to view it. We’re still going to try.

My wife and I got a great view of the total Solar Eclipse in 2017 and it’s a fantastic experience. I encourage everyone to try to view one if you can. In this case, an Annular Eclipse should be interesting.

Also, please use appropriate safety glasses and equipment. Take care of your eyes.


Note this is an annular eclipse, not total, so protection is required throughout the event (not the entire sun will be covered).

The total eclipse will happen in April next year.


There is an equally good solar eclipse in April 2024 that crosses the country the other way around.
