DALLAS — Texans throughout the state were captivated by the 'Ring of Fire' annular eclipse that came and went Saturday morning.
North Texas only experienced 80% to 85% viewing coverage, but the 100% coverage path across Texas included Midland-Odessa, San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
A total solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024 and its path crosses directly over Dallas-Fort Worth.
