SAN ANTONIO – If you live in San Antonio and were bummed you only got to see 61 percent of Monday’s eclipse, no need to worry because you’ll be able to view a total solar eclipse in seven years -- on April 8, 2024.
Texas has seen its fair share of partial solar eclipses but never been on the direct path of the phenomenon, according to Heavy.com.
