Severe weather threat each afternoon through Wednesday. Trivia: Total eclipses occur roughly every 18 months worldwide. 🏙️Austin last saw a total solar eclipse in 1367, over 600 years ago. The next one in Austin won’t be until 2343.🌕 🌑The moon is drifting away from Earth at about an inch per year. In 500 million years, the moon will be too small to cover the sun, ending total eclipses. ⭐Einstein’s Theory: An eclipse in 1919 helped prove Einstein’s theory of general relativity by demonstrating how gravity can bend light. 🔮Eclipses were once seen as omens, even leading to peace negotiations during a sixth-century war in Turkey. ✈️ Speedy Science: In 1973, scientists flew aboard a Concorde jet at over 1200 mph to stay inside the path of totality for 74 minutes during an eclipse in Africa. 🌞Final Reminder: Enjoy the eclipse wherever you are, but remember to put your phones down and protect your eyes with glasses! @CBS Austin @John-Carlos Estrada
