Eclipse over Waco: Awe-inspiring event captivates city on April 8, 2024

At 1:37 p.m., solar glasses came off and Central Texans saw what no one has seen here for 147 years: The moon closing over the sun like lid on a jar, casting the land into midday dusk.
Low, drifting clouds parted enough to give many Waco-area watchers visibility of the eclipse during the totality of four minutes. Jupiter and Venus appeared near the convergence, while the horizon took on a pink hue.
The sight of the sun going dark brought gasps, cheers and awed silence all over the area - from families on blankets by the Suspension Bridge, from amateur astronomers gathered in Aquilla, from the 14,000 visitors gathered at the Eclipse Over Texas event at McLane Stadium.
