SAN ANTONIO – Parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country were excited to experience Monday’s total solar eclipse. The rare event marked the first time since May of 1397 that the path of a total solar eclipse passed through what is now San Antonio.
Totality began around 1:30 p.m. for parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country.

Since many parts of the country were not in the path of totality, thousands traveled to the Texas Hill Country to view the eclipse. Some San Antonio residents didn’t need to get on the road at all and still had the best seats from their homes.
Among the best and “brightest” submissions for Monday’s total solar eclipse included a viewer’s time-lapse video of how the sky changed from cloudy to dark and back to cloudy again.
Mic, the KSAT 12 mascot, was also a popular find for viewers out at Aue Elementary School in Leon Springs.
The star of the show, of course, was the moon blocking the biggest star of them all — the sun. Monday’s eclipse will be a memory that families will cherish for a long time.
