Annular Solar Eclipse October 14 2023

#1 Postby wxman57 » Wed Feb 22, 2023 11:59 am

As I mentioned in an earlier post, there is a "dry run" on Oct. 14th of this year. Almost the same parts of Texas will experience a near-total annular eclipse. I'll be heading out to Kerrville for that one.

It will look something like this:

Good website that shows where the two paths converge over Texas. Kerrville again.

I'm curious how dim the darkened annular eclipse will be relative to a total eclipse (perhaps 90%?). Any idea how many minutes/seconds the annular max is anticipated to last?

I think that the moon will cover about 98% of the sun, lasting for 4-5 minutes in Texas. I saw the 1984 annular eclipse where over 99% of the sun was covered. Couldn't really make out any sun around the edge of the moon. Should be an amazing sight next October. I'll be traveling to a friend's house in Kerrville, which is just off the center line.

Hi wxman57. Split the posts of the annular eclipse from the April 8 2024 total eclipse one to have a thread for that.

Is the Green Line maximum totality? And can SE Texas be shown?

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.

Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.

Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information

The green line is the center line of the eclipse. It marks the longest duration of the annular eclipse.

It's just an annular eclipse this year but you can see the shadow already on the sat loops.
