Tomorrow’s annular solar eclipse, the last one until 2039, will be visible in the United States. The ‘ring of fire’ that the solar eclipse creates in the sky.
An spectacular event will take place in the skies tomorrow, October 14, as an annular solar eclipse will occur on Saturday. For the first time since 2012, most US towns will be able to see the solar eclipse, often known as the “Ring of Fire.”
This eclipse is known as the “Ring of Fire” because the Sun appears to be shaped specifically because it is partially covered by the Moon. A dazzling ring starts to form in the sky as soon as the moon passes between the sun and the earth, partially obscuring the sun.
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon seems to be somewhat smaller than the Sun, giving the Sun the appearance of a ring.
It’s important to note that until June 21, 2039, Saturday’s annular solar eclipse will be the last one to be seen in the United States.
Solar eclipse “Ring of Fire”: Date and Time On Saturday, October 14, 2023, just 4.6 days after the Moon reaches the aphelion, its farthest point from Earth, this annular solar eclipse will take place.
The annular solar eclipse will start at 9.13 am (PDT) in Oregon and end at 12.03 pm (CDT) in Texas, according to NASA.
Where can I view the annular solar eclipse?
The solar eclipse will only be visible along a short path from Oregon to Texas in the United States. The Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, as well as portions of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil, will thereafter be passed by. The partial solar eclipse will be visible from Alaska to Argentina, according to a report from HT.
Is India going to be able to see the “Ring of Fire”?
The annular solar eclipse won’t be visible in India tomorrow, but it will be viewable to those in the Western Hemisphere. Therefore, you might have to wait till the following ring if you live in India and wish to view the brilliant “Ring of Fire.”
Good job 👍
