On October 14, 2023, the world will witness a ring of fire solar
eclipse. This celestial event occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of
the Sun, but is not quite close enough to completely block it out. As a result,
a thin ring of sunlight remains visible around the Moon, creating a stunning
visual display.
This year's ring of fire solar eclipse will be visible from a
narrow path across North and South America. The path of totality will begin in
Oregon and end in Brazil, passing through eight US states, Mexico, and Central
America along the way. A partial eclipse will be visible from the rest of North
and South America.
