About

Two eclipses cross the US in 2023 and 2024 – an annular on October 14, 2023 and a total eclipse on April
8, 2024!

Everyone in the continental US will experience at least a partial solar eclipse on April 8. Total solar
eclipses are a rare and beautiful phenomena, and in this new planetarium show you will learn how eclipses
happen, how to safely view one, and where these two eclipses take place. You will learn the history of
eclipse watchers and how to observe safely. Texas is the nexus where the annular eclipse of 2023 and the
total solar eclipse of 2024 cross! The next solar eclipse to cross the US is in 2045 so don’t miss this one!
