Clouds are likely to spoil the view of the total solar eclipse in Texas and other spots along the path in North America, according to forecasts on Saturday,
Meteorologists this weekend are fine-tuning their predictions ahead of Monday's eclipse as spectators try to scope out the best places to watch the moon block out the sun for a few minutes.
"Most of Texas doesn't look that great for seeing the eclipse," National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Oravec said Saturday.

Just a single, unguarded glance at a solar eclipse can result in a lifetime of vision loss, eye health experts warn.
On Monday, tens of millions of spectators across Mexico, the United States and Canada will witness the Moon completely obscure the Sun's light, a rare celestial spectacle that won't be visible for most of North America again until 2044.

Data from Cheops and its friends suggest that between the unbearable heat and light of exoplanet WASP-76b's sunlit face, and the endless night of its dark side, may be the first extrasolar 'glory'. The effect, similar to a rainbow, occurs when light is reflected off clouds made up of a perfectly uniform but so far unknown substance.
