Watch the "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse (NASA Broadcast Trailer)

A "ring of fire," or annular, solar eclipse will cross the United States on October 14, 2023, from the Oregon coast to the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the Americas will be able to see at least a partial solar eclipse, weather allowed. The NASA Solar Eclipse Map for 2023 and 2024 can be viewed by clicking here: https://go.nasa.gov/USEclipseMaps

A huge, bright ring in the sky is formed when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth but is just far enough away in its orbit that the Sun is not entirely covered.

WARNING: Without specialist eye protection made for solar viewing, it is never safe to look directly at the Sun during an annular eclipse. Visit SolarSystem.NASA.gov/eclipses for information on how to observe an eclipse safely.
