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. Check out this "simulator" view of how the eclipse will look in Lampsasas.

June 24 – Rare Sky Event! Five Planets And The Moon Together!
Catch a glimpse of a rare sky event on this midsummer morning. All five naked-eye planets—along with the Moon—will be visible in the sky at once! Step outside at approximately 3:20 a.m. (CDT) and look towards the southern and eastern sky. The most interesting part? They will be lined up in their true order out from the sun: Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn! According to astronomer Gary Seronik, “It’s been about 100 years since a similarly compact parade of planets graced our skies, and you’ll have to wait until 2041 to see such an arrangement again.”- Farmer’s Almanac (June 2022 Night Sky Guide )

Earth is expected to pass through the debris trail of a broken-up comet on Monday night and it could result in a brand new meteor shower. Or it could come to nothing.

Although we have been touting the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse coming in 2024, we don’t want you to miss other celestial events, such as the Total Lunar Eclipse happening over Lampsasas on May 15, 2022. While a Solar Eclipse happens when the moon gets between the sun and the earth, a Lunar Eclipse occurs when the earth gets between the sun and the moon. Unlike the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse can be watched without special eyewear, providing the sky is clear. The “blood moon” will not be completely invisible, but will appear to turn red. Beginning at 8:32 pm CDT, the earth’s shadow begins to cover the moon. Totality will be at 10:29 pm and will last for almost one and a half hours. So get out your telescope or binoculars, and get ready to be amazed!
