| When Is The Eclipse In Houston Time |
The Big Day: April 8, 2024
Mark your calendars, Houston! The next solar eclipse gracing your city with its celestial magic is on April 8, 2024. That's right, you'll have to wait a bit, but trust us, it'll be worth it. Think of it as building anticipation. Like waiting for the perfect brisket to cook.
What Kind of Eclipse Party Are We Talking About?
Now, let's get one thing straight: Houston won't be in the sweet spot for a total solar eclipse. You'll be treated to a partial eclipse instead. Imagine biting into a delicious taco, but someone took a sneaky bite before you. That's basically what a partial eclipse is. Still pretty cool, right?

Timing is Everything (Especially for Eclipses)
The eclipse will start around 12:20 PM on April 8, 2024, reaching its maximum point at around 1:40 PM. It'll wrap up its show around 3:01 PM. So, clear your schedule, grab your eclipse glasses (trust us, you need them!), and find a good viewing spot.
