Question

Answer 1

Hi TX!

The total eclipse ended at 6:20 a.m. Central Daylight Time, and could not have been seen from Texas anyway.  If it's any consolation, the only parts of the country that could have seen even a bit of it were far northern Maine and the north slope of Alaska, and they saw barely a nudge taken out of the solar disc.  There was nothing to see from the US.

I'm afraid the news media hyped this eclipse far out of proportion to its real interest to us in the western hemisphere.  This eclipse could best be seen in Siberia, Mongolia and central China.

The next total solar eclipse in Texas is on April 8, 2024.  That early afternoon, Austin and the Texas Hill Country (but not San Antonio), Temple, Waco and all of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex lie in the path of totality.

If you're impatient, Texans will see a partial eclipse of the sun in the early evening of May 20, 2012. In fact, some places in NW Texas lie in the path of an annular eclipse, where the moon moves completely across the sun, but is too small to block it totally. You could also see a total solar eclipse the afternoon of August 21, 2017 if you drove to Missouri.

It's already over. It ended in Asia at about 12:40 pm GMT.
