A celestial spectacle will pass through the sky on Oct. 14. And you have an opportunity to safely watch.
The looming annular solar eclipse will be visible to millions of Americans in the U.S. as well as folks in Central and South America. Some will see the complete annular eclipse, wherein the moon passing in front of the sun creates a "ring of fire" view. Many others will experience a partial solar eclipse, as only part of the moon, from their vantage point, traverses our star. We’re about to give you all the details of how you can best watch this not quite “once in a lifetime” event.
