2023 Texas Annular Solar Eclipse
A Stonehenge Annular Eclipse
For the October 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse, Alson Wong and I planned on visiting Lowell Observatory and other places on our way to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. There we hoped to observe the eclipse from the ballon park. However, threatening clouds caused us to travel further southeast to Odessa Texas, where we observed the Annular Solar Eclipse from a replica of Stonehenge. Later we travelled to While Sands National Park and the Very Large Array near Socorro, New Mexico. YouTube video.
