There’s a big solar eclipse coming up this fall. Make sure you’re watching it safely!

On Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse, also known as a “ring of fire” eclipse, will pass over much of North, Central, and South America.

When watching an annular eclipse directly with your eyes, you must look through safe solar viewing glasses (“eclipse glasses”) or a safe handheld solar viewer at all times. Eclipse glasses are not regular sunglasses—no matter how dark, sunglasses are not safe for viewing the Sun.

Here’s how to tell if your eclipse glasses are safe!
