A rare ‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse will be seen across the nation on Saturday, October 14. This celestial event is unique as the solar eclipse will be visible across the nation from the east coast to the west coast, weather permitting. However, people in the U.S. should take precautions and not look directly at the eclipse. It is dangerous to do so as it causes damage to the eyes. People should use special eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors.
The moon will almost cover the sun entirely and a “ring of fire” will be visible in some regions. There will be an orange hued ring around the shadow of the moon and hence it is termed the ring of fire. Some locations will observe a partial eclipse.
The natural showstopper might be seen for three minutes and up to five minutes in certain locations. The entire annular solar eclipse is expected to last between two and a half to three hours at certain locations.
If the weather permits, the ring of fire or a partial eclipse will be seen by skywatchers in the following states:
Oregon
Nevada
New Mexico and
Texas.
It will also be seen in parts of
Arizona
California
Colorado and
Idaho.
On Saturday, the path of annularity or the full ring of fire effect will be seen in a roughly 125-mile path that stretches from Oregon south to Texas and also cuts through Central and South America. Many skywatchers in North America might be able to see a “partial solar eclipse.”
Solar eclipses are much anticipated events as they can be viewed only from specific parts of our planet. It is uncommon for an annular solar eclipse to be seen across the nation from the Pacific Coast to the Gulf Coast. So, the solar eclipse on Saturday October 14, 2023 is a unique event. The next ring of fire eclipse that is expected to be seen across the U.S. will occur on February 2046.
NASA will live stream the entire celestial event. Its website also offers instructions on how to safely observe the solar eclipse and more, and includes instructions on how to make a pinhole projector in your home.
