Understanding the Phenomenon
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily casting its shadow on our planet. The 2024 solar eclipse is poised to be a breathtaking event, with the moon completely covering the sun for a brief period, creating an awe-inspiring display of nature's grandeur.
How Often Do Solar Eclipses Happen?
On average, the world witnesses two to five solar eclipses each year. However, what makes each one special is its location and the degree of totality - the extent to which the sun is covered by the moon. The upcoming 2024 solar eclipse promises to be particularly captivating, with a path of totality cutting across the United States. If you're wondering where in Texas to see the solar eclipse of 2024, our Texas camping resorts lie right in the path of totality for this captivating event. With 99% totality in Waco and 97% totality in New Braunfels, both Camp Fimfo locations are set in the perfect place to view the solar eclipse.
