LAPS: Are Your Eyes Ready For 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse?

The annular solar eclipse will cross North, Central and South America Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023. The annular eclipse will begin in the United States, traveling from the coast of Oregon to the Texas Gulf Coast.

Triploid rainbow trout are sterile and cannot reproduce. They are created by subjecting the fertile trout eggs to either irradiation or high heat during development. It has been a number of years that New Mexico has only stocked this type of rainbow trout. Much smaller numbers Read More
