Get ready for a total eclipse of the heart (of Texas)! Hold your hats and put on your eclipse-viewing shades because Round Rock is in the path of totality! Now, you may be asking what a solar eclipse is and why it is so special? Well, picture this: the sun and the moon are two-stepping, and they cross paths, and the moon casts a shadow on the sun. This produces a unique day/night effect with intriguing shadows and a view to see in the sky. Mark your calendars because the eclipse will be visible in Round Rock, TX, on the afternoon of April 8th and peaking around 1:37 p.m., and it’s an experience you don’t want to miss!

Where to get eclipse Glasses?
Safety first when viewing the eclipse! Looking directly at the sun will cause permanent eye damage unless you are in the path of totality and look during the brief minutes of totality. Make sure to pick up a pair of American Astronomical Society Certified glasses before you embark on your solar eclipse viewing journey! There are plenty of spots with glasses, including retail chains like H-E-B, Walmart, and Buc-ees. Look for glasses labeled ISO 12312-2 or ISO 12312-2:2015.
