which takes place when the moon is close to its distance from Earth and produces the “ring of fire” effect. The phenomena were expected to start appearing in Oregon at 12:13 p.m. EDT/9:13 p.m. PDT and end in Texas around 1:03 p.m. EDT/10:03 PDT, or 12:03 CDT (local time).
On Saturday, it was anticipated that observers in Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, Texas, California, and Colorado would be able to watch the eclipse. It was anticipated that it would be visible later in Mexico, Central America, and South America.
Cheryl Kurchin Chapman met with others to see the eclipse at College Hill Reservoir in Eugene, Oregon. “It was breathtaking. She told The (Eugene, Oregon) Register-Guard, “There are hundreds of people here. “Something that makes me think of my father, who used to take us out to see the eclipse when we were little. It’s a wonderful occasion.
Some people were in danger of missing the totality of the solar eclipse
When the moon completely blocks out the sun, due to a cloudy sky. But on Saturday morning, the sky was completely clear at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which attracts about 100,000 visitors every day to witness hundreds of hot-air balloons. Pilot Allan Hahn of Aurora, Colorado told The Associated Press, “It’s very exciting to be here and have the convergence of our love of flying with something very natural like an eclipse.”
As the day’s musical festivities got started, Austin City Limits Music Festival visitors got to see a partial eclipse. Although the city wasn’t directly in the line of the eclipse like San Antonio was, onlookers could still make out a crescent-shaped sun.

She admitted to the Austin American-Statesman that “it’s kind of romantic.” The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore met with local observers in Albuquerque and responded on X, formerly known as Twitter. The “ring of fire” eclipse caught his eye, and he exclaimed, “What an incredible sight.” “Oh, that’s just perfect.”
The good news is that in April 2024, a total solar eclipse will be seen in even more of the US since it will travel a different path, starting in Mexico and passing across Texas, the Midwest, upstate New York, and northern New England.
