On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse swept across parts of the United States, creating a spectacular 'ring of fire' in the sky. Once again, my husband, John, my son, Jeremy, and I set out to chase the moon’s shadow-this time traveling to Midland, Texas, in hopes of finding the perfect place to experience the eclipse.As we made our way into the path of annularity, anticipation grew. Would the Texas skies cooperate? Would we find the right spot to watch? And when the moment finally arrived, would we see the moon pass in front of the sun, leaving only a brilliant ring of sunlight around its edge?Chasing the Moon’s Shadow Again and Again is the story of our journey to witness another remarkable celestial event-and the adventure, challenges, and memories we collected along the way.
