Although not the BIG SHOW we are expecting in 2024, the Annular Eclipse of October 14, 2023 will be a great rehearsal! During an annular eclipse, the moon does not cover the entire sun, but leaves a "ring of fire" around it. Here in Lampasas, we will experience 92.2% totality. The event will begin about 10:23 am, with maximum eclipse at 11: 52 am. REMEMBER THAT YOU CANNOT WATCH ANY PART OF THIS ECLIPSE WITHOUT CERTIFIED ECLIPSE SAFETY GLASSES. These glasses are currently available at Hodges and Sargent Pharmacy, My Girls, Moonie's Hemporium, Lampasas County Museum, and Lampasas Public Library. (If you know of any other place, please list in comments.) Everyone who wishes to take a peep at the eclipse will need the glasses.
