An annular solar eclipse is happening on Saturday, Oct. 14 and that means that the moon is small enough to cover most of the sun but will leave a “ring of fire” around the moon.
This year, San Antonio is in the direct path of the eclipse, so grab those eclipse glasses and check out these festivities on this moon-tacular day.
