A 105-year-old Fort Worth man is ready to experience his 13th solar eclipse next Tuesday — a lifelong tradition that hasn’t wavered because of his age. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News , Biser described his family of five staying in motel rooms while eating peanut butter sandwiches and deviled ham.
weighs in on new map claiming more of San Antonio than expected will see total solar eclipse What started as a fascination as a young boy has now become a tradition that has spanned six decades. He has chased eclipses from a state park in eastern New Mexico to a sandy beach on Canada’s Prince Edward Island, a pasture in Nebraska and the Black Sea near Russia. Biser’s age-old tradition became a staple in the family.
What time is the eclipse in San Antonio, nearby towns? Here's when to put on those eclipse glasses. Biser’s efforts to photograph eclipses got him lauded at a meeting of the Fort Worth Astronomical Society. It was during a 1979 eclipse in North Dakota that his diligence in finding the best viewing spot landed him a perfect progression of the eclipse. The photograph still hangs in his Fort Worth home.
