(This is an archived page about the annular solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023. For information on future eclipses, please see our Upcoming Eclipse Maps page.)
On October 14, 2023, an annular, or "ring of fire," solar eclipse will occur in San Antonio, Texas. The largest city that the 2023 eclipse will encounter along its journey through the U.S., San Antonio is located about halfway between the centerline and the eastern limit of the eclipse path. In downtown San Antonio, annularity will last for about 4 minutes and 21 seconds. In fact, it's important to note that all of San Antonio is located inside the 2023 eclipse path, which unfortunately is not the case six months later when only a portion of the city is captured inside the path of the total solar eclipse that will sweep across the U.S. on April 8, 2024. The lucky citizens of San Antonio will have a chance to experience two solar eclipses in the span of only six months, but only this annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, will cross over the heart of the city. Below, we've provided key details about the eclipse in San Antonio for locals and visitors planning on viewing the eclipse from that city.
