The Eclipse at the Alamo
Eclipse at the Alamo
Annular Alamo Event (Invitation)
The Alamo will host Eclipse Watch on Saturday, October 14, when San Antonio will be in the direct viewing path for the annular solar eclipse. According to NASA, the peak annularity window will take place from 11:52 a.m. to 11:56 a.m.
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while positioned at or near its farthest point from Earth. As a result, the Moon appears as a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk, creating what looks like a ring around the Moon.
The Alamo encourages visitors to protect their eyes with our commemorative solar eclipse glasses that feature the iconic parapet roofline of the Alamo! These glasses meet safety requirements and are sold for $5 each at the Alamo Welcome Center.
