Some people see a partial eclipse and wonder why others talk so much about a total eclipse. Seeing a partial eclipse and saying that you have seen an eclipse is like standing outside an opera house and saying that you have seen the opera; in both cases, you have missed the main event."

Jay M. Pasachoff (1983)

What Is A Total Solar Eclipse?
A crowd of people pointing during a solar eclips

A Total Solar Eclipse is a natural phenomenon that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun’s light and creating a shadow on the Earth’s surface. During a Total Solar Eclipse, the Moon completely covers the Sun, causing the sky to darken and stars to become visible. The corona, the Sun’s outer atmosphere, can also be seen as a glowing ring around the Moon. Total Solar Eclipse are rare and can only be observed from a narrow path on the Earth’s surface. The Path of Totality, where the Eclipse can be seen in its entirety, is usually only a few hundred kilometers wide and moves across the Earth’s surface as the Moon orbits around the Earth. Outside the Path of Totality, a Partial Solar Eclipse can be observed, where only a portion of the Sun is covered by the Moon.

A Once In A Lifetime Event

The last time Dallas-Fort Worth experienced a Total Solar Eclipse was in 1878. During that eclipse, the Path of Totality passed over the northern part of the state, including the city of Dallas.

Dallas-Fort Worth will never experience another total solar eclipse for nearly 300 years.

“A Total Eclipse of the Sun is a grand spectacle of nature. Words never adequately describe it, and photographs or videos don’t do it justice. Seeing a Total Solar Eclipse is an experience like no other, and Eclipse chasers witnessing totality for the first time are often emotionally overwhelmed by the experience,” according to 2024 Total Eclipse Texas – TravelQuest (travelquesttours.com)
