SAN ANTONIO – The anticipation is building as parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country prepare for the total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8. This rare event will be the first time since May of 1397 that the path of a total solar eclipse passed through the area we know as “San Antonio.”
Since many will not be in the path of totality, thousands are projected to travel into the area to view the eclipse. The total eclipse is expected to begin around 1:30 p.m. for parts of San Antonio and the Hill Country. You can see if you are in the path of totality by checking out this interactive map.
