APRIL 9, 2024 — The cloudy skies couldn’t dampen the excitement of the 2,000-plus UTSA students, faculty, staff and extended community who assembled at the Main Campus on Monday, April 8, to experience the total solar eclipse with their fellow Roadrunners.
Cloud cover made it hard to see the sun, or rather, to see the moon as it moved over the sun. But as darkness crept across the Recreation Field Complex and the temperatures cooled, patrons knew they were experiencing a spectacle that will not come San Antonio’s way again until the year 2343.
The entirety of the eclipse began at 12:14 p.m. The campus then experienced total darkness from about 1:33 to 1:35 p.m.
Take a peek at this celestial phenomenon from a Roadrunner’s point-of-view.
