The eclipse will be once-in-a-lifetime moment of magic for San Antonio. Make the most of it.
It’s the magic of geometry. The moon passes in front of the sun at just the right distance from the Earth to block the sun and create a total solar eclipse. A big part of that magic involves what parts of the world get to fully experience an eclipse. On average, total solar eclipses occur about once every 18 months. But today's eclipse marks the first time in 627 years that San Antonio has been on the path of totality for a solar eclipse.
Half of San Antonio lies outside the path of totality. Here’s where to watch the eclipse. Among other things, the eclipse will be a tourism boon for Texas. For the solar eclipse of 2017, the population of Hopkinsville, Ky., one of the communities on the path of totality, spiked from 30,000 to 140,000. That tourism brought an estimated $28.5 million into Hopkinsville’s economy.
