This will be the second eclipse visible for parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country in a span of 6 months.

If the clouds clear enough during the total solar eclipse, you could see Jupiter, Venus and maybe even Mars and Saturn.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has a tool that can compute every solar eclipse from any city in the past or the future, between 1499 BC and the year 3000.

Researchers will be using the eclipse to study how to look at distant planets.

Everyone in the United States will experience the eclipse to varying degrees. Here’s the timeline and what to expect in San Antonio, Texas.

Read about the fascinating math behind eclipse predictions, as explained by UTSA astrophysicist Dr. Angela Speck.

On April 8, 2024 the path of a rare total solar eclipse will pass through Texas, including parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country around 1:30 p.m.

That one-fourth of a day we don’t acknowledge most years is accounted for in one full day every four years.

Many people in South Central Texas and the Hill Country were in awe as they looked to the sky for the annular solar eclipse late Saturday morning.

The influx of out-of-town visitors for both this annular eclipse and the total eclipse in April is anticipated to bring a notable impact to San Antonio’s economy

Angela Speck, chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UTSA and the Co-Chair of the National Solar Eclipse Task Force explains everything we need to know ahead of the Oct. 14 annular eclipse.

To view the eclipse, you'll need safe solar viewers that are thousands of times darker than sunglasses and they must comply with the ISO 12312-2 international standard.

During the annular eclipse on Oct. 14, the moon will pass in front of the sun, creating a halo or ‘ring of fire’ in the sky.

The solar eclipse will be visible from San Antonio and the Hill Country on October 14, 2023.

There are two kinds of Blue Moons, according to NASA, and neither has anything to do with the actual color of the Moon.

The mornings of Aug. 11, 12, and 13 will be the best time to try and spot meteors before dawn.

July’s full Buck Moon will be the star of the show on the eve of Independence Day.

Next week the Northern Hemisphere will endure “the longest day of the year” on the summer solstice

The stars at night are big and bright and this weekend the planets will be too thanks to a planetary alignment.

The two brightest planets in our sky are getting cozy this month. Jupiter and Venus will appear close together each evening just after sunset and will be visible near the waxing crescent Moon.

A comet that hasn’t been seen since the ice age will be visible in the northern hemisphere in January and early February.

Space lovers unite! The International Space Station will be passing through the South Central Texas sky Sunday evening.

The name "Wolf Moon" was given to January's full moon since this time of year is typically when wolves are active and can be heard howling on cold nights.

Clear skies in San Antonio provided an unobstructed view of the astronomical event.

The Scobee Education Center at San Antonio College (SAC) will be hosting a total lunar eclipse watch party Sunday evening.

The group of researchers crafted a scientific proposal, “A Beacon in the Galaxy,” to communicate with aliens through radio-transmitted messages that include scientific notions that introduce characteristics of humanity to outer space.

There’s going to be a total lunar eclipse this week that will turn the flower moon red.

Blanco joins Fredericksburg, Dripping Springs, Horseshoe Bay and the Wimberley Valley as International Dark-Sky communities in Texas.

In March, we saw a Super Worm Moon, named for the earthworms and grubs that emerge after the winter season. And in May, we saw the supermoon known as the Flower Moon, Corn Planting Moon, Milk Moon or Vesak Festival Moon, according to NASA. Blue moon on HalloweenWe’ve all heard the saying, “once in a blue moon.” We use it to signify something that doesn’t happen all that often, and we definitely experienced that in 2020. We saw an actual blue moon --- which is the second full moon in a single month -- on Halloween. The next blue moon is not expected until August of 2021.

Have you heard of the Leonid meteor shower? It comes around every November, but the chances of seeing it this year are much higher than last year. The shower happens at the same time every year, when Earth’s orbit crosses the orbit of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, according to Space.com. A trail of dust is left behind the comet, and when Earth’s orbit crosses that trail, pieces of the comet fall toward our planet’s surface. Luckily for us, meteors are visible to the naked eye, and the shower will peak overnight Monday into Tuesday (Nov. 16-17) around 3 a.m.

SAN ANTONIO Jupiter and Saturn -- they are planets you can see right now in the San Antonio night skies. If you dont know how to spot them or dont have a telescope to find them the San Antonio Astronomical Association is here to help. Every Wednesday, the association meets up for its free to the public event, Astronomy in the Park. The event is at Raymond Rimkus Park located on Evers Road in Leon Valley. Right now, its just Jupiter and Saturn that are very clear to spot, but Mars will also be visible later this month. The event is weekly depending on clear skies and if weather permits.
