About the Annular Solar Eclipse
On Saturday, October 14, 2023, a spectacular annular solar eclipse will be visible from parts of North America, South America, and Antarctica. During an annular eclipse, the moon passes between Earth and the sun, but because the moon is farther away from Earth than usual, it doesn’t cover the entirety of the visible sun. Instead, the sun appears as a bright ring, or annulus, around the dark silhouette of the moon.
