The annular solar eclipse will follow a roughly 125-mile-wide ribbon known as the path of annularity that will cross parts of North, Central and South America.
Big Thicket National Preserve in Texas is one of the National Park System units in the path of the annular solar eclipse next month and park staff are offering solar-filtered telescopes and eclipse glasses for safe viewing, ranger programs, and a sneak peek at the preserve's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2024.
