On October 14, 2023 an annular solar eclipse will occur that will traverse the Americas. The eclipse will create a “ring of fire” visible from Oregon to Texas, and in parts of Mexico, Central and South America. The eclipse will begin in Oregon at 9:13 a.m. PDT and end in Texas at 12:03 p.m. CDT. All 48 contiguous states in the U.S. will experience a partial solar eclipse on this date.
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is too far away from Earth to completely cover the Sun. As a result, the Sun appears as a bright ring around the Moon
