Great Plans Make Great Adventures
Total Solar Eclipse
This is the big one. While it won’t be as big as the Total Solar Eclipse in April of 2024, expect quite a show. Remember the correct eye protection for viewing the solar eclipse.
Orionids Meteor Shower
The Orionids Meteor Shower peaks with up to 20 meteors per hour on Saturday night, October 21. With a quarter moon setting near midnight, visibility will be good, better if you wake an hour before sunrise.
Annular Solar Eclipse
The “Annular Solar Eclipse” will be visible across Texas, but anyone in the path from Corpus Christi to Odessa will see the “Ring of Fire,” where the moon will eclipse all but a slivery sunny ring. The map below has our recommendations for where to see watch this cosmic show.
Perseid Meteor Shower
On a good year, you can see as many as 90 meteors per hour, and this is a good year. The shower is expected to peak on the 13th on it’s way to a New Moon on the 16th. That’s a good formula for watching.
Reservation Time -Annular Solar Eclipse
This is going to be wild. While it won’t be as big as the Total Solar Eclipse in April of 2024, expect quite a show. Remember the correct eye protection for viewing the solar eclipse.
