An annular solar eclipse is a celestial event that occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. As a result, a bright ring, or "annulus," of the Sun's outer edge remains visible, surrounding the dark disk of the Moon and giving it the "ring of fire" appearance.

Corpus Christi is the last major point to catch the eclipse in the United States. The solar eclipse will be viewable from most parts of the city, including major attractions like, Downtown Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi Bayfront, and North Padre Island.

With the centerline of the eclipse running straight through Corpus Christi, eclipse seekers can expect to see the cosmic event for up to 5 minutes and 2 seconds starting at 11:55:48 AM on October 14, 2023 according to nationaleclipse.com.
