Captivating 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse 2023: Everything You Need to Know.

 This year, we're expecting a Ring of Fire solar eclipse on Saturday, October 14, 2023. It will be a beautiful astronomical event, so be sure you're equipped with the information and resources necessary to safely take in this marvel of nature. "Ring of Fire" solar eclipse is a captivating celestial event that captures the imagination of skywatchers worldwide, so we've covered everything you need to know about the upcoming event in less than two days:


An annular eclipse or annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth or near it. Since the moon appears smaller compared to a total solar eclipse, it leaves a stunning "ring of fire" effect when it passes in front of our Sun. The eclipse creates a dramatic ring, which is visible around the moon, highlighting the edges of the moon's silhouette.

The Ring of Fire solar eclipse will first be visible in Oregon at 12:13 PM local time (9:13 AM PDT) according to the Eastern Time Zone. After there, it will move swiftly over the southwest of the country, moving through Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California. Before concluding at sunset over the Atlantic Ocean, this path will traverse parts of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil. Most of North America, Central America, and South America will witness a partially obscured sun during the event - it's still a spectacular sight!



The eclipse can be safely viewed from within the Path of Annularity, which is the best place to see all stages of the eclipse.

Even if you're not on the Path of Annularity, observing the eclipse from a safe location is an excellent option. You can watch eclipse coverage live on NASA Television, the agency's website, and the NASA app. NASA will also live-stream the eclipse on its Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube social media accounts, providing uninterrupted live views of the eclipse without commentary by time and date.



The Ring of Fire solar eclipse happening on October 14, 2023, won't be visible in India.

This is the last Ring of Fire solar eclipse that will be seen in the United States until June 21, 2039.
