Annual Solar Eclipse 2023
Eclipses occur when one object passes in front of another or when an object passes in between two aligned objects. For a solar eclipse to occur, the Moon must pass in between the Earth and the Sun. This passing casts a shadow on the Earth, and only those in the shadow can witness the eclipse. When the Moon is furthest from us (at apogee), only part of the Sun is covered, and this is known as an annular solar eclipse (2023).

Total Solar Eclipse 2024
Fredericksburg, Texas is in the path of a total solar eclipse on Monday April 8, 2024.
For a solar eclipse to occur, the Moon must pass in between the Earth and the Sun. When the Moon is closest to us (at perigee), the Sun is fully covered, yielding a total solar eclipse (2024). On April 8th, 2024, a total eclipse will fill the sky over Texas. During this incredibly rare occurrence, two distinct worlds connect: ours spanning the vast, open terrains of Central Texas, and that of the endless space beyond our planet. On April 8, 2024, the eclipse will take place from 12:15 to 2:56 p.m. CT, while the total eclipse will be visible from 1:32 p.m. to 1:37 p.m. in Fredericksburg. It’s at this moment in time that people, technology, music and the arts unite in celebration of this phenomenon. Join us for an experience you won’t soon forget.
