Happy Saturday and solar eclipse day to you all! I decided to ride the Hunter 350 to the San Antonio area to observe the annular eclipse today. I learned a few things about the Hunter and eclipses today. Skip around with the chapter markers below.
Be ready for the next major eclipse on April 8, 2024! It will be a major event because that's the last total eclipse to cross the USA until the year 2045, so it will be a last-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Here are some great links with details:
