All You Need to Know About the Oct. 14 Annular Solar Eclipse

An annular solar eclipse will occur on October 14 and will be visible across the Americas. The eclipse will start in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PT and pass through several U.S. states before moving across Mexico, Central America, and South America. The "ring of fire" stage of the eclipse will be visible in certain locations, while others will experience a partial solar eclipse. NASA has created interactive maps and will livestream the event. It is important to use solar filters and not look directly at the sun to observe the eclipse safely.
