Solar Eclipse Over Texas
The October 2023 solar eclipse just before reaching "Ring of Fire" annular totality overWestern Texas. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away from the Earth so when it passes in front of the Sun, its size in the sky is slightly smaller than the Sun's, leaving a visible circle called the "Ring of Fire.” I drove nine hours with my three kids to get this amazing view. I don’t think they’ll ever forget it! Photo © copyright by Stephen Carter.
