Texas will be in the path of an annular solar eclipse on Saturday and it will be visible to Texans shortly before noon.
A lot of Houstonians are counting the hours until Saturday's Ring of Fire solar eclipse which will be visible in the area. One of the best placed to view it is the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences. FOX 26's Randy Wallace visited the museum to share more."We're very lucky for this fall and especially next spring to have the moon's shadow land here," said Planetarium astronomer James Wooten with the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences.
"When something cool is happening, you override your common sense and look at it don't do that," said Wooten."This material absorbs most of the sun's light making it safe to view," Wooten said."Anything you have at your house a hat with small holes in it will show the eclipse through the hole that's a projection or safe filter," said Wooten.
"It will appear a little darker it won't be like nighttime or twilight," Wooten said. "It will still be daylight, but it will be a little bit darker almost as if there's a cloud over the sun."The moon will be close enough to the Earth to block all the Sun.Then Texas won't be in the path of a solar eclipse for two decades.that I have read and agree
