BOERNE – City staff and officials, along with several area partners, met Sept. 20 for a safety planning meeting ahead of two solar eclipses set to occur in the Hill Country over the next couple years.
The Tuesday meeting, held at the Boerne Fire Department, is the third of what will be several meetings ahead of an annular eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023, and a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. While the annular eclipse is expected to bring in large numbers of visitors, the total eclipse will be the biggest draw.
An annular solar eclipse refers to the solar event when the moon covers the center of the sun, creating a “ring of fire” around the moon’s edge.
