One week after the 2023 Ring of Fire solar eclipse!
The stage is set for one of the greatest solar events of 2023, if not the greatest sky observing event of the year!
We’re officially one week away from the annular solar eclipse that will occur on October 14, an eclipse that could be visible to millions of people across the United States. Although not a total solar eclipse, an annular eclipse will provide a “ring of fire” effect for observers in the path of maximum coverage, as the Moon will not completely cover the Sun during the event. Instead, it will leave a small ring of the sun visible, also called a annulus, hence its name.
