'RING OF FIRE' SOLAR ECLIPSE WILL SLICE ACROSS AMERICAS ON SATURDAY WITH MILLIONS ALONG PATH
Techlife News|October 14, 2023
Tens of millions in the Americas will have frontrow seats for Saturday's rare "ring of fire" eclipse of the sun.
'RING OF FIRE' SOLAR ECLIPSE WILL SLICE ACROSS AMERICAS ON SATURDAY WITH MILLIONS ALONG PATH

What's called an annular solar eclipse - better known as a ring of fire - will briefly dim the skies over parts of the western U.S. and Central and South America.

As the moon lines up precisely between Earth and the sun, it will blot out all but the sun's outer rim. A bright, blazing border will appear around the moon for as much as five minutes, wowing skygazers along a narrow path stretching from Oregon to Brazil.

The celestial showstopper will yield a partial eclipse across the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

It's a prelude to the total solar eclipse that will sweep across Mexico, the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada, in six months. Unlike Saturday, when the moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the sun from our perspective, the moon will be at the perfect distance on April 8, 2024.

Here's what you need to know about the ring of fire eclipse, where you can see it and how to protect your eyes:

WHAT'S THE PATH OF THE RING OF FIRE ECLIPSE?

The eclipse will carve out a swath about 130 miles (210 kilometers) wide, starting in the North Pacific and entering the U.S. over Oregon around 8 a.m. PDT Saturday. It will culminate in the ring of fire a little over an hour later. From Oregon, the eclipse will head downward across Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas, encompassing slivers of Idaho, California, Arizona and Colorado, before exiting into the Gulf of Mexico at Corpus Christi. It will take less than an hour for the flaming halo to traverse the U.S.

From there, the ring of fire will cross Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and, finally, Brazil before its grand finale over the Atlantic.
