Stellar Show: Solar Eclipse Dazzles Georgetown

Meredith and Tony Reyes and their two sons were especially excited to watch the eclipse after learning about it together. “We homeschool and have been learning about the solar eclipse as a family all week, so it was really neat to see what we’ve been studying in action,” Meredith says.
On October 14, families and friends turned their eyes to the skies at Berry Springs Park and Preserve to catch a glimpse of the annual solar eclipse.
This year’s annual eclipse was visible for the first time in North America since 2012. An annual eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and sun, leaving a ring of the sun visible. A total eclipse, on the other hand, completely obscures the sun for a few minutes. If you missed it, mark your calendars for the next total eclipse, April 8, 2024.
