It’s tomorrow! This Saturday (October 14th), an annular solar eclipse will occur, which can be observed in different parts of the world, such as the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, and more. This upcoming cosmic event is expected to happen again in 2024, visible in the far south of South America and in areas in the Pacific Ocean.

An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, but the Moon is farther from Earth in its elliptical orbit, making its apparent size smaller than that of the Sun. As a result, during the eclipse, the Sun is not completely covered by the Moon, and a bright ring of sunlight, known as the “ring of fire,” is visible around the Moon.

It’s important to remember that looking directly at a solar eclipse without proper eye protection can cause permanent eye damage. Use suitable solar viewing equipment such as eclipse glasses or shade number 14 welder’s glass.

If you don’t have any equipment to observe the eclipse or won’t be in regions where it’s visible, you can simply tune into the live broadcast of the event on the Internet, such as the one from NASA on their YouTube channel.

Through the ‘Time and Date‘ website, you can also check the exact time when the annular solar eclipse will begin in each country and city.
